tangled up in BLUE Prowler Junkie Posts: 11086 From: New Castle, Ind Registered: DEC 2000	posted 03-21-2005 03:05 PM finding out more details.....made in Washington.....displayed at SEMA 2004.....
Bob Goetz Prowler Junkie Posts: 2895 From: Belle Plaine MN USA Registered: MAY 2001	posted 03-21-2005 03:33 PM Yep saw it and the conversion is not even close to being as nice as the 53 that you have. The car they had on display you would think they would have taken the time to make the fit and alignment of the panels be right on the money. Larry I know you would be very disappointed, I looked it over a couple of times and it would not even pass the 20 rule. It is a case of a great idea and poor execution. ------------------ < CLICK HERE FOR NEW REALROD.COM PARTS > < Click on my banner to go to realrod.com >

Bob Goetz Prowler Junkie Posts: 2895 From: Belle Plaine MN USA Registered: MAY 2001	posted 03-21-2005 04:08 PM Well the things that hit me but they really could not do much about the doors are to long and I think if you measured it against the real deal the front end is shorter on this one. Also the whole front end tilts forward instead of the hood only opening. ------------------ < CLICK HERE FOR NEW REALROD.COM PARTS > < Click on my banner to go to realrod.com > This message has been edited by Bob Goetz on 03-21-2005 at 04:09 PM
BeWare Prowler Junkie Posts: 18511 From: Acworth,GA,USA Registered: JUL 2000	posted 03-21-2005 04:31 PM The thing that first struck me when I looked at the pictures was it looked wide and flat. Looks exactlty like somone stepped on it.
Ray unregistered Posts: 18511 From: Acworth,GA,USA Registered: JUL 2000	posted 03-21-2005 04:32 PM I dunno ... I like it ... specially the rear 1/4 view ... very slick. Hard to tell the door "issue" from the pics, and the part about the whole front tilting, maybe to get around any "issues" from the vendor of the '53 kit perhaps? The front 1/4, Larry, maybe its the rake of the widshiled against the "original", but, what ya gonna do, huh? Looks great in pics and I'm sure the '53 kit that TIUB has on his car started off 'rough' too before customer acceptance production units. JM2Cents

JM2Cents Ray, ...I think maybe it is the windshield that seems awkward to me....I had both a 61 and a 62 many years ago...I would like to see more pictures and their web site doesn't have any....apparently, this is the only example in existence..... ...the prototype of the 53 by AAT is very slick....difficult to tell it from the later conversions....

Phil: This is a C5 conversion ... so ... yeah, using the C5 doors and handles, windshield and glass ... its NOT a 61/2. Hope you knew that.

butchcee Prowler Junkie Posts: 7476 From: Lake Ariel, Pa. Registered: SEP 2000	posted 03-22-2005 10:35 AM I like it better then the 53 kit... sits better IMO. Maybe if they get enough interest, the can clean up the details.
