Just forward of the custom chrome tipped exhaust built into the chrome bumper is a Posi-Traction 9" Currie rear end with 3.73 gears. Some people may call this car a boat, but the parts used make this car handle like a brand new sports car. Look behind the beautiful wheels at the drilled and slotted rotors with Baer brakes slowing everything down. When the builder took on this project he took his time sourcing three vehicles to supply parts to make this one beauty you see here. You cannot order parts for these just anywhere so finding good donors was necessary. Every detail was poured over to make sure this car kept as much original styling as possible, but had every modern upgrade and creature comfort. The door panels are custom, the woodgrain dash is custom painted, the black exterior paint is in fantastic condition. The convertible boot cover is leather wrapped over a custom piece of aluminum. The latch that secures the convertible boot is the same latch used to secure the top to the vehicle when it is up. Every inch of this car that is not original was done in the best taste imaginable. To help dissipate the heat from the motor the fenders have vents in them. Take this car to shows and you will win. Whether you are showing off the engine, exterior, undercarriage, or anything in between this is truly the gift that keeps on giving.
