I think its kinda cool looking. I'd keep everything the way it is except for the chop, I'd have to replace the roof.

I had 77 T/A Pro Street and I am only 6 foot tall and had the top of my head hit the headliner, you would have to be a hobbit to drive that car.

Can't tell whether it's the photos or the actual car that are "distorted"... but it does look cool in sort of a "Rat Fink" way.

I think it's the car. Taking 4" out of the front and back pillars exaggerates the proportional height front to back. Makes it look like a mammoth sat on the back of the car. He should have taken more out of the front pillars (or less out of the back). Of course, why anyone would want to do that to a real 70 TA is beyond me.

Ad notes "22887".

Are the rear spoiler pieces stock or have they been lengthened?
