California rust free car stored since 1970. Only 150 miles on a body off frame restoration. Themed as an old school hot rod.
EXTERIOR: No rust! The fit and finish is amazing. Every square inch of It is laser beam straight. The panels fit square and flush, doors click shut. The black is polished like a literal mirror. The white is a beautiful pearl also polished like glass. Door jambs are painted as slick as the outside. New weather strips. New windshield and gasket. All the stainless trim is new. The chrome is new. It has a smooth front bumper with no visible bolts or seams. The wheels really make it cool in my opinion. Salt Flat style wheels in front. Painted black rims with screw in studs and vintage style street slicks in back.
INTERIOR: It has the original door panels and rear seat upholstery in very good shape. New sport bucket seats that recline were installed. It has several Hot Rod touches- vintage style steering wheel, tachometer mounted on the column, SW gauges in the dash and vintage aluminum gas pedal. They even left the clutch pedal there from when it was a manual shift. Now it has a Hurst ratchet shifter on the floor with a Rat Fink knob. The carpet and headliner were replaced, dome light works. The dash panel is painted gloss black, it has a custom insert with the gauges and vintage radio.

The master cylinder is upgraded to a dual reservoir. The radiator is a new polished aluminium. The fire wall is painted smooth. The bottom of the hood, fender wells and core support are smooth satin black. Everything looks very meticulous and fresh.

UNDERSIDE: The body was off the frame for a show quality underside. The floors are all metal with no rust. The floors, braces, inner rockers look like clean original metal. It is so nice the bottom was painted a gloss white. The chassis is smooth clean metal painted gloss black. The frame was reinstalled with new bushings and bolts. The front end was completely rebuilt.
