Interesting, I applaud the effort involved... I'd like it better if they kept the proper headlights and went with a different paint scheme.  I love the big motor tho.  I'd do a bed cover to keep it a semi sleeper.   The bench recaro seat is interesting.  10 for effort and a 3 for the completed project...

  sort of like very glad ol' Leonardo did not have Mona Lisa with bright  fluorescent red lipstick

but everyone is different....
