Anyhow, I'm afraid when the lowered and narrowed fad fades and the latest best thing is something else, these guys are going to have a hard time selling their cars. That is, the ones that aren't all smashed up after the crappy disc brake conversion cuts a brake line in two or has a caliper fall off.
Damn, and I just bought all the parts to do that to my 63 Ragtop.. (green font)

Sweet truck. Those pictures made me a little homesick (NY expat. ~Cooperstown area).
