There are hundreds and hundreds of hours in this car, a five year project. There is not a nut or bolt that hasn't been replaced or refurbished.

 This project started with a rust free body, that was completely hand blocked through the entire process. And then each part painted separately. There is over $3000 worth of paint and clear.

The hood, is a custom one off Cyclone vintage tear drop. It took many hours to craft, and make straight. Then there were five coats of hot rod satin black that was flawlessly applied.The hood hinges were also powder coated.

All the chrome and trim has been re-conditioned. The bumpers were both re-chromed at a cost of over $2000.

All the black trim has been powder coated in black wrinkle.

There are less than 200 miles on the car since the resto. The car wins wherever it is displayed. It placed second at the Ford Nationals, also claimed editors choice award. Even Linda Vaughn Miss Hurst, signed the glove box door at the Hurst reunion!

There are no disappointments at any point on this car, body, jams, under the hood, interior etc. I have been a bodyman for 35 years, and I restored this vehicle for myself. I took my time, and did it right! Any questions,or to request more photos, please email Ronnie.
