Hahaha. Please tell your good wife I mean no disrespect, but I cannot, in good conscience feed her desire to poke fun at you. I made no error. I honestly intended the word "Ace" (a very skilled person; expert; adept: an ace at ....................um finding, cutting, forming, and fiddling).

OK rude, you owe me about 3 hour of sleep I lost last night thinking about the auto concept trying to get to sleep. Next logical step in my mind was: since guys are grafting in 59 auto dashes, how hard would it be to graft on a 59 elcamino with the swept back wrap rear window to a 59 tf cab? Or use it to make a removable hard top ala Sunliner?

Or use a 50's wagon front glass and roof all the way back for a custom chopped look. Go ahead and make four functional doors while we're at it.

Take the windshield that's in it and cut it off about 10" high for the speedster look.
