This is just a sample of the receipts from the restoration.
The paint and body was all done in 2014 by Glass Cars Inc in Dallas.
Mechanical work and maintenance done by Quality Foreign in Grand Prairie .
Under the engine looks nice and dry and peeking above you can see the pushrod tubes still shine like new.
Approx 4500 miles on the car since the engine was rebuilt.
Chassis looks to be nice and solid in these images.
performance muffler gives the engine a bit beefier sound without being obnoxious.

Nice color choices here...hard to been white and navy!
Mileage on the odometer is though to be original to the car.
Some minor flaws on the drivers seat and the mechanism for seat adjustment is in need of attention.
A couple small flaws in the upholstery like in this pic...nothing fatal or needing attention at this point in my opinion
but it is worth pointing out.
Marks on the drivers seat
Bumper tip is not mounted through the body as original but chrome and rubber all look fresh.
Reverse light on the bumper have been eliminated as have the side reflectors.
Really makes for a nice clean and un-cluttered appearance.
The engine is a 1600cc dual port with a two barrel progressive carb and 009 distributor.
12 volt electrics with alternator, Interstate battery.
Top fits nice and is in very good shape
Headliner looks good as well.
Alpine audio in the dash was installed in October of 2017.

Glass rear window is a very good thing.
Hop on in and drive off into the sunset!
A very fun car for sunny day play!
In closing this looks like a nice car to me.
Certainly not flawless, but built with a nice eye and a lot of recent money spent
this is a car you can drive and enjoy for many years without really having to do anything but maintenance.
