All the hard work is done. This is easily a $25k Street Rod when finished!

Body - 3.5" roof chop, Chrysler Sebring powered side mirrors, lowered rear quarter panels and skirts for "Led Sled" look. Customized hood raised in rear to hide wipers and lowered in front for a "nosed" look. Replaced entire floor, inner/outer rocker panels, front cab mounts and necessary body mounts. Customized firewall body mounting brackets. Body shaved and door poppers installed. Front sheet metal (fenders, fire wall and grill area) smoothed. 1959 Caddy custom rear tail lights along with "Cat Eye" LED lights. 1954 Grille insert with '54 Chevy grill teeth and custom grille bullets. New headlights with integrated turn signals are installed. Front and rear bumper panels are curved under. 2 piece windshield and rear window are installed. New fuel tank and fuel lines.

Note that I had painted the car with a single stage black color and it looked fantastic, body lines and straightness were perfect, but there was a bit of orange peel. Since then I have sanded it down and have not repainted. Pictures show the car before it was sanded!
