What a true barn-find! This car came to us in its original paint. It had body damage and rust but not as extensive as many.

The owner chose to restore the rolling chassis himself. So we removed the body from the frame after the panels were straightened and fit, the rust repaired and the body blocksanded together.

While the chassis was being restored we painted the body 2-tone.

Upper color: Adobe Beige

Lower color: Sierra Gold

We use a unique, spray-on coating on the interior floor as a sound and heat deadener. This makes any ride more comfortable and enjoyable.
