I see nothing wrong with it because there is a large surplus of KF cars and the KF's Darrin inspired body lends itself well to hot roding. Plus, when most manufacturers were trying to shoe horn a V8 into their engine bays, KF had the flat 6, so room is not an issue, as this rod represents.
Rodders don't do four door sedans, as a rule. Of course there are exceptions but this means 90% of KF products are safe from the "basic" garage rodder. A more experienced guy can always weld in rear doors or do even more fabrication.
I figured there would be more KF's rodded as rodders are into the 'next big thing'. After seeing so many of any one car, they tend to look for a project not seen or attampted.
It's a shame he picked a Carolina but weren't Carolina stripper cars and that's part of the reason they didn't sell much? If I am a KF collector, or any make for that matter, I want the car I might not have afforded new, or one with a recognition for it's cool factor, like a Dragon, like a Virginian, etc, a 54 with a supercharger, not necessarily a stripper 2 door car.
