I just don't understand the conversion thing? It kind of messes with the guys who actually went out and bought an SS and actually have the SS models, and get to deal with the good points and the bad ones as well.
It's kind of like going and getting your ASE certs and then running into people who don't have their certifications claiming they do. All that does is 1: ticks you off, because you busted your butt for those certs 2: their actions make all ASE certified people look bad (guy claims he has his certifications but actually doesn't, botches a job, and now to the public all ASE certified individuals are schmucks). I wouldn't put a dodge sticker on my ford truck. If I wanted a dodge I'd buy a dodge.
I guess I'm just one for calling a spade a spade. If you're going to convert the body, may as well do an engine and interior swap as well.
I've never claimed to be anything that I'm not, and I don't understand why anybody would.

But as mentioned, "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery".
