Shelby conversion, rear window

Has anybody done the Shelby rear window conversion on a regular fastback? I've seen the kits available but didn't know how bad a job it is to do.

Not that I've got any insight...but it looks like it shouldn't be too challenging.

This was a 66 Fastback conversion:

Maybe you're right, but I was assuming he was talking about replacing the vents with windows. I've never done it and never would as you'd have to slice up your original sheet metal. [sm=boosign.gif]

True, but even an R-Clone, if done to the last detail, would be a fun car to have and should command a fair value on the market....but that would take a significant investment to achieve.

if you want a true gt350r clone look around on http://www.cobranda.com/index.html the parts are a little pricey but they are just like shelby used.

Youre kidding right?I kno people have done it but he said converting a REGULAR fastback to a shelby not a coupe to a fastback.
