I actually thinks it looks pretty good, but the top up doesn't look right. I always wanted an Excalibur type roadster made form a Cadillac, though I don't think I'd cut up a 75k car to do it. I've seen some done on RWD Limo's and coupes.

I agree that it looks pretty cool.  Have to admire the ingenuity and workmanship.  BUT for that money I'd much much much rather have some 50's AND a 60's Cadillac convertible to drive and enjoy.   Maybe once this has 25,000 miles on it and the price drops to $50k it would be a better value.......

all that money spent and still using vw bug turn signals on the front fenders

i think the back almost looks like a pick up truck

i can appreciate the time that went into it, but still need to ask what were they thinking, or should i say smoking

From the side profile, it looks like it is bent in the middle.

The rear part is okay, but from the windscreen forward, it looks like it rises up.

I agree with Bruce. It looks like it sags in the middle . Hood seems to run up in the front.
Not my cup of tea.

I remember seeing that before. I'm not sure what Excaliburs are going for, but taking a $100k car and making it into one seems crazy. I'd much rather have a custom 50s or 60s roadster.
