No corners were cut and the best original and date coded NOS parts were used in the restoration. The car was restored in 1990 and looks like it was restored yesterday. The paint is flawless and shows zero signs of age. The paint work is second to none. For example: When some restorers paint a trunk floor. the paint may look great until you look past the shock towers and way back in the hidden areas. Those areas sometimes look unfinished and flat. That is not the case here. The paint work is exceptional on every inch of this car. The bottom of the car was painted as nice as the top. This car was undercoated from the factory so the under coating was then reapplied over the beautiful Vit C paint and correct primer over spray like the factory did. The cost of a Gibson restoration today using the NOS parts that were used on this car would cost close to $200k. for more pics click here https://www. flickr. com/photos/131023070@N06/sets/72157650981233348/ Drive Train and suspension Restoration: The original numbers matching drive train was rebuilt to factory specs using OEM parts.
