Frame off show quality build! Top quality paint and bodywork, with a fit and finish that will bring a tear to your eye. The look, the colors, the stance, and reliability, this one has it all!

EXTERIOR: Exceptional fit and finish! All the panels have been meticulously aligned square and flush with nice and tight gaps that rival a new Mercedes. The doors close easily like a new car. Looking down the side of the 100% laser straight body is extremely satisfying with its smooth contours and crisp lines. A gorgeous combination of red and black paint was the perfect choice for this car. The 2 stage paint job is polished to a mirror like finish and was applied with expert precision. All the smoked glass is brand new plus the rubber seals and fuzzy strips were replaced too. The bumpers and abundant chrome trim is nice and straight with a glorious shine. The front grille is spotless with aircraft inspired adornments that speak for themselves. The reproduction T3 headlights look like new. I really like the fat polished exhaust tips peeking out under the rear bumper. The ensemble is rolling on an appropriate set of 15” chrome Cragar wheels that are wrapped in Mickey Thompson performance radials. Truly impressive!

INTERIOR: Totally restored! Period correct upholstery was used to faithfully recreate a factory original look, and I absolutely love it. The door panels were also redone with matching fabric. The door handles, levers, and all remaining interior trim are all nice and shiny. The floor mounted chrome Hurst 4 speed manual shifter is a very nice upgrade. The builder also added a triple gauge and vintage looking Moon tachometer to monitor the vitals. The entire dash area was magnificently restored and repainted. It has an upgraded digital stereo and extra speakers added to the rear shelf. The aftermarket steering column now has a tilt option and a chrome wheel. The emergency brake handle was even chrome plated and the pedals were replaced. Other new items include the carpeting, headliner, sun visors, and rear view mirror. Inside the jambs are nicely painted red just like the body, and the weatherstrips were replaced.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Lots of chrome! The Chevy 350 V8 is topped off with a big Holley carburetor and polished Weiand intake manifold. Many other parts have been polished or chromed including the air cleaner, valve covers, alternator, timing chain cover, water pump, power steering pump, brackets, pulleys, clutch fan, radiator core support, horns, air box and blower, wiper motor, hood hinges, hood supports, and latch mechanism. The Harrison radiator keeps everything cool. The battery is properly secured and the horns are hooked up. All the belts and hoses were replaced. The brake system has fresh steel lines and the steering gear box was upgraded. The underside of the hood, fenderwells, and firewall are all painted red just like the body.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Complete and proper! The underside of the trunk lid and jamb are painted slick just like the body. The weatherstrip was replaced. The latch mechanism was chrome plated. Inside is equipped with a full size spare tire, jack assembly, lug wrench, and trunk mat. Under the mat is spotless steel that is painted black like the exterior.

UNDERSIDE: Complete body off frame restoration! There's almost as much chrome under the car as there is on top of the car! The steering and suspension was completely rebuilt. The control arms, and steering components are all chrome plated. The shocks are painted red, with air shocks out back. It has a custom polished stainless steel fuel tank. The dual exhaust has polished stainless mufflers and tips. The brake system was redone and upgraded with disc in front. The calipers are painted red and the e-brake is hooked up. Looking up at the engine you will see a shiny chrome oil pan and flywheel cover. The T10 4-speed manual transmission is painted red and the linkage looks fresh. The chrome driveshaft leads back to a chromed rear end. Even the rear leaf springs are chrome plated! The floors are all smooth metal painted semi gloss black. The frame was also nicely prepped and painted. Thoroughly restored!
