JohnM, you are right. The engine swaps were over and above the call. I was thinking more about the front and rear bumpers, speaker bulges and suicide hinges. All pretty standard tricks. Mothers did a V8 PT early on, so that is sort of covered ground, too. While all the work was top-notch and more than I'm capable of in my garage, The thing that impressed me was the rear flares one team did. One of the things no one did was make it a 2 door, chop it, or (and this is something I'd like to see on a PT) a 2-door with one large rear side window. Something like an early hearse or Nomad. The 'full custom' stuff that would be more dream stuff than prototypes for aftermarket kits. Again, all of it was beautiful, but nothing that was groundbreaking.
