    You have done great, that is a jewel that you have and now she is purring like a kitten. My favorite factory custom and I am not even a custom guy.

    I've had a change of heart with her. I'm going to preserve and redo the stock overall mechanics of her. So don't know if the hamb will allow me to keep updating since this is a hotrod kustom website.

    Keep the updates coming, as far as I am concerned that car was a custom from the factory.

    Now with all the lighting sorted out, I sent her out to get a lite polish. Just to see what the stock paint looks like under this 30yrs of barn dust and grime.

    For the Paint to be original with very lite surface rust sparkle, the Paint is in great condition. There WAS a stain on the roof from the barn roof leak. Key word "WAS" here's a sneak peak of what was hiding under all that haze.
