From that point on thru the years he started the job of making this car one of the best authentic period cars out there . I not sure where to start except to say that ive been over every inch of this car and the metal in this car is in greatcond it has a bitchin firewall and front floor section has been added not because it needed it but because it needed the clearance in firewall and trans hump.
