The body was stripped to bare metal, epoxy coated then a base coat clear coat finish was applied. It was block sanded and polished like glass. Has all the stock trim and chrome, every piece replaced or restored. Every piece of glass was replaced. Every weatherstrip and gasket was replaced. The wheels really stand out, big chrome 22s in back and 20s in front. Each wheel has a thin dark red stripe that's a nice touch.
Very classy. The rich leather upholstery was expertly designed, stitched and installed. Expertly cut and installed carpet all with sewn edges and floor mats to match. The dash is beautiful. The black metal is painted as smooth as the exterior. Has a really nice set of gauges including a tachometer. Vintage Air and Heat controls are in original location.
