This special car still retains its original sheet metal. It has been stripped, then primed and painted with PPG base coat and clear coat. The Thing Shop supplied the new seats, convertible top and side windows. Old Speed built the new 1776cc performance engine and J&C built the stronger transmission. It has been used as a weekend beach car and RV tow behind vehicle.
