Car began as a complete and rust-free vehicle showing 48,000 plus miles. It was completely disassembled and all body panels, frame, a-frames, radiator support, inner fenders, etc. were media blasted.

Wheels are 15x8 reversed Cragar SS with BFG radial TA tires. The body has both a replica Thunderbolt fiberglass hood and a stock hood. Both were painted at the same time as the car so the paint would match.

Bumpers, grille, and misc chrome has been replated. Car has a new windshield and weatherstripping. The trunk has been detailed with splatter paint and a new mat.
