Very nice. Would love to see pics of the engine compartment and interior as well if you have them.

Interior and engine. T Bird bucket seats, and hand made console. Engine is stock, but detailed, with chrome and paint. Modern PS pump, AC compressor, and hand made air cleaner.
Yes, very sad, it took the wind out of our sails when we heard the news. He was such a great guy, and it was a pleasure to custom build this for him. Hard to continue when you know it will be sold to someone who doesn't appreciate the work on it, or will just flip it for profit.

I went back and took "inventory" of the cars I built (major builds, at least full paint, most body resto and paint, some 'body-offs') when I was nominated for a Kustom club's Hall of Fame. 106 full jobs, 66 of them real customs (major body mods), and 39 real custom paint jobs (candy, pearl, or lots of graphics). 13+ chopped tops. Not bad for someone doing it as a "hobby". Haha!
