Thank you for your response.

We understand that it will affect the resale value of the car, but that is not why we are doing this. In all likelihood, we will not sell the car and we don't have any children. But if we ever do have to sell it, the sentimental value will never match the resale value anyway as this project will be fulfilling a dream.

We have not ruled out the possibility of us getting an actual 1971 'Cuda and restoring that, but what we are looking for is some help with people who have done this or other converts. We have seen them (converts) out there for sale and we are looking for technical advice. Any help will be appreciated!!
