This project is a resto-mod show quality driver. We are performing a partial body-off restoration on this car. Work will include, but not be limited to, paint and body work, chrome-work, and polishing all stainless, installing a new stainless exhaust, installing new glass throughout, and re-wiring the car in-house. We are also installing four wheels with radial tires, four wheel disc brakes, in-dash A/C, AM/FM stereo with touch-screen, GPS and many other details that will be mentioned as the restoration progresses. The interior will be fully restored by Jackson Custom Upholstery.
