I think it is almost a waste of effort - the work looks good in the pictures but I think the wheel base is too short. This is why coupe doors are longer...
...now it looks like something Noddy would drive,

I think it would really work if they had modified the rear fender bulbous section

All valid points. But sometimes you just make-do with what you've got. While I'm inherently uncool and personally dig 4 door sedans, many folks are sedan-averse. And if your uncle has a 4 door that's been stripped of all the goodies he needed and is just sitting there for the taking...why the heck not?!?!
It's not as ridiculous looking as the shorty '57 Chevys, VW Buses, etc!
