Resto-Mod show quality driver restoration.

This car is being restored as a modified body-off show car and driver that has a 60’s sound. The car will have a red exterior and a black custom interior. It will have a new drive train with a Roush 427 small block 520 hsp engine, a 4-barrel carburetor and a 5-speed transmission. This car will have many other features that will be shown in detail as the restoration proceeds.

New quarter panels, frame rails, and trunk floor were installed. Rear wheel wells were widened 3″ for larger tires, bucket seats are added and a tunnel was built to house the 5-speed transmission.

Etching primer then urethane filler primer were used to prep the body for paint.

Seam sealer is placed along every seam or crevice on the body before it is sent to the paint booth.

The Falcon body is painted Ruby Red Metallic which is a factory Ford color.

These are pics of the doors, interior parts, and dash that have been primed and painted.
