    A ´58 Plymouth Convertible? That HAS to be a rare car. Well worth working 10 yrs on, at any rate. I take it the headlights are ´58 Chrysler units turned upside down, correct...?

    tail lights look good....headlights...not that good. :) Maybe with a little more work I could see it. But that is a pretty rare car. Maybe stock headlights up front would be better.

    Knowing all the trouble Vinny had with that car all through the years, I am SOOOO glad to see it finally close to being finished. Glad he had the courage, and strength to keep plugging away at it.

    Did you guys know that a long time ago, he had the body separated from the frame, and a s**** collector took the frame?
    Took many years to find a replacement...convert frames are different from the others!

    Can't say i'm into the front end at all, these were pretty bad *** from the factory, and the headlight mod he did just doesn't make sense. The tail lights aren't bad though.

    It is his car, but damn, hes got the holy grail of 58's and it just doesn't work :(

    Love it or hate it...who cares its his car and no one asked our opinion. Good for him to have the balls to finish a 10 year project. I'd like to see some pics after it hits the light of day!
