It still has the look of that era but using most of the vintage parts it came with from its 50’s build. With a wheel change and color change it can bring a whole new look. If not sold I will be doing so. Tons of money was invested building this hot rod and doing it right. It is very solid with no rattles. Fast as hell super reliable and professionally built. I reserve the right to end this auction at any time for I am selling the car locally as well. Always entertaining trades as well. Pre 1960 hot rods kustoms chopped sleds, model a’s ??? Thanks.
