With glass and interior removed, the body was hand stripped to bare metal
Hood, header, bumpers, fillers, fenders, doors, and trunk lid were all removed
The car was rust free, there was no rot, no metal work or metal patching needed or done on this car
The entire car and all parts were extensively prepped until the metal and all body components were perfect
The ugly factory chip guard was removed which will make this car standout from any other survivor car
All body work was done until all components and parts were perfect, and checked for fitment
The car was then primed, and blocked, sanded and primed again before final block sanding

Hundreds of hours went in the bodywork alone for a mirror, show quality paint job
