I agree with Mikael. For instance in a GT5-S conversion, there are some 30 FEET of careful TIG-welding necessary to attach the fenders to a completely stripped body, and once the bodywork is finally done, you have the small brakes, narrow wheels and early interior to replace. One conversion that I know, cost over $30,000 before it was on the road- not counting the cost of the Pantera to begin with. I've dealt with beautiful body conversions that were so poorly engineered under the fenders that it took months of fiddling (at $75/hr) to make the car safely driveable. Unless you own a body shop and business is slow, I don't advise conversions.
