Basically this is it. There are a lot more little things that go into a restoration that is never said!! We have over 1500 hrs into this project. My son and I restored this car exactly back to the PHS. We did not alter or change it from the PHS. We are going to sell it, as we have more projects to do. If you’re truly interested in buying this car, be prepared to come and see it, as I will not sell this car to anyone who will not personally come and meet us and inspect the car.
