Test driven approximately1000 miles on engine and completed restoration, vehicle handles and drives very solid. Too much to list, a definite headturner and too many details to list a must see!!
Any questions or additional information desired please advise, welcome to view the ride located approximately 35 miles south of Nashville, TN.
Note the extra detail on this build, this is a COMPLETE body off rebuild doors, tailgate, gauges and all glass have been removed for full access paint, the interior floor panel and tailgate bed have been painted and insulated where most builders will ignore since it is all just covered with carpet and tailgate metal assembly! The frame has been upgraded to airride suspension and replacing all bushings and shocks, including conversion to 4 wheel disc power braking system, upgraded power steering system adding modern air conditioning system.
All trim has been converted from the dull polished stainless look to chrome!...all trim, bumpers and grill have been professionally chromed for a new brighter and sharper eye catching look. Check out the dash trim which has been old-school electronically chrome painted, there are only about 4 restoration builder in country whom still do this type of old school restoration...this single item carried $650 price-tag.
All upholstery has been completely redone…this is not just a seat cover this was fully make for scratch hand stitched, including the headliner which most builders will not tackle due to the difficulty and extra labor cost, Every nut, bolt, washer, spring and item on this vehicle has been replaced with new or restored! Note the detail to the $10K+ power plant and engine compartment, including new wiring harness.
Vehicle runs down the road great at 80 mph on interstate it floats along at about 3500 rpms, with that being said keep in mind this is still a 50 year old vehicle so you will still have the usual squeaks, rants and road noise expected from these older vehicles but there is no doubt it is much better then factory original.
Hope this helps and I strongly encourage you come view the vehicle if you are in the Nashville area. Unfortunately if you are seeking a cheap shadetree build this will not be the vehicle for you. Have a good one and please advise if any additional photos or details are desired.
