No way. The proportions are completely messed up, it looks like a kid's pedal car or some sort of clown car. The Imperial's styling cues and lines simply do not work on a short wheelbase "sporty" car like this is trying to be.
A very silly looking custom. If you're going to do a custom, you really need to think it out and try to improve on the original design, not just create some sort of silly clownish caricature. This looks like it belongs in some Saturday morning kid's cartoon show.
IMO... big waste of time.
