We have rebuilt it and spent more money on the tired old little motor than something new, but oh well... it should have "the look". The interior will be red leather, the frame detailed, smoothed, powdercoated and chromed, but the exterior paint is staying.
Thanks for looking!
Drove it home and threw some wheels on it...
We are doing same thing on our truck but are going to have to attempt to Patina Paint it to look old. Frame, drivetrain etc will be smoothed cleaned up as well.Looks awesome!
