I agree  the photos are great.  Anyone have more information/photos on 
the Red  EM "hardtop" lots of neat, subtle custom touches on that  one.







I spent a few minutes with the owner - getting the tour of the car. It took 
 an unbelievable amount of work to do the hardtop conversion, and it isn't 
quite  finished as yet. Some piece parts were sourced from a Chevy II 
hardtop, and  the side windows are custom cut and heat treated. Lot of sheet-metal 
work and  welding-in of pieces. In some ways the "hardtop" work gives the 
airy impression  of the 61-62 "bubbletop" big cars. He also has a complete 
late model  suspension installed underneath and, as you mentioned, lots of 
custom touches,  such as front turn signals and custom headlight frames. I 
don't think it will be  too long before it is finished. The guy is a real 
craftsman and the body/paint  work is excellent.
