A restoration of this caliber, he right color, he right options, ombined with modern suspension, rakes, heels, nd a completely upgradeddrive train, ake this 61 hard to top.
This car was built with long term investment in mind. Nothing has been altered to permanently affect the cars integrity or originality. Nothing was cut or welded. The car could easily be put back to stock later on down the road if someone wanted to do so.

The entire engine compartment was finished with great detail. It was painted with the front clip off the car. The firewall is nice and slick, s is the underside of the hood. As you can see everything was painted apart. No painted-over bolt heads, ll hardware is either new, r blasted and re-coated original. Lots of time and money spent getting the engine compartment to look as good as it does.

The car has tubular upper and lower control arms with all new bushings, eals, nd ball joints.
The brakes have been upgraded with high end parts. A Wilwood master cylinder and Wilwood proportioning valve were added to feed the massive 14" brake. The car stops very well.
