Thanks so much everyone. I have been putting my heart into this car, I know people joke about how much I turn cars but this is my 1st full resto custome from ground up, so its not going anywhere. I have changed plans once again , and if my paiter will hurry up and put some paint on it , it may be the last time I change my mind, LOL

Yes Ethan you are correct, the pedals are from pedal werks. $500 bucks

Plans ......

All black engine tins on my 2017 cc motor, red an fittnings , red pullies. very little shinny stuff.

My fuchs 15 inch up front 16 inch the rear
Image

Silver paint to match my VW hauler the Ford Expedition , should be close to this.

Image

A custom bright red interior , not sure if I will do a black or red ragtop material.

Image

Hope to finish by next show season, and I want to take it to the classic in California.

I might be getting the body back this week, minus the fenders, hood, tank, etc .

I want to send it to the interior shop before I put fenders on it.
