Lots of work but I don't like the long slanted windshield and lack of rear quarter window.

Wow, not sure why it was done but a good job doing it. Not my taste but very good work.
If the roof to sail transition was a little sharper edged it wouldn't look quite so morphed. Other than that it's not bad at all.
Wanting a Custom fit in an off the rack world. I don't have time for a job, I just need the money.

YIKES! That looks really weird! It has been really well done though, i agree, professional job! If you look at how the rear quarter goes over in the door, that is a smooth fit.
But man, it does look... strange.
I prefer the real thing.
Good find!

Of all the weird and whacky conversions I've seen, this one is actually not bad.

I dont like the sloped windshield. They did nice work but looks a little funny.

Not my style either. It's certainly a clean modification, but the slope of the windshield and hood are strange. I like the lines of the first gen birds as they are.
Learning as I go! Not stock, but doing as much as I can myself.

Weird, but nicely executed. If I had to choose between that and a stock FGF, I'd choose the stock FGF.

Don't like it. Looks like an aborted Pontiac project that was not thrown away completely.
