This guy is quite proud of his creation. It wouldn't be bad if he actually did a good job on it, but that's not the case.

1957 DeSoto Firesweep Sportsman that has been body swapped onto a 2002 Ford Crown Victoria LWB car. It has all the mechanical improvements of the 2002 CV, with the cool esthetics of the Desoto! I performed this swap myself, this is my fourth one. The swap was performed with the upmost attention to detail, making sure the structural integrity of both cars was maintained, making for an extremely solid platform. In addition to the body swap, I performed a number of mechanical improvements. The Crown Victoria had 109,000 miles on it when the swap was performed, and since then I have put 1,400 miles on the car, including two out of town trips, with no issues whatsoever, averaging 22.5 MPG!
