Default Well done!

I once rented an Escalade on a road trip and was blown away by the performance and fuel economy. Ran into a guy with an alignment shop who had taken a 66 Buick and did a restomod installing an escalade power plant and finishing out the vehicle to a high level. It was a stunning ride with the exceptional performance and fuel economy of the escalade power plant that I knew to be far superior to anything I could have done to my Pontiac. He loved the originality of my pontiac and seeing a pontiac motor under the hood. I loved his choice of taking an not so sexy model car and modifying it to a sophisticated driver that made all the sense in the world to me. Originality has it's place to be sure. Everyone likes to see a car finished to a high level of originality. What you are doing to that lemans is so over the top and so unbelievably top drawer, I can't imagine any sensable person faulting the concept. The finished product will be fine as a frogs hair. Well done.
