Whole car and all parts were stripped down to steel then shot with PPGs DB40lf epoxy primer, then any body work that had to be done was done, top coated with PPGs K36 anti corrosive primer, block sanded, so all panels are straight as can be! Then sealed with PPGs High Performance ES sealer before being painted with PPGs Envirobase High Performance basecoat and cleared with 3 coats of the unmatched durability of PPGs DCU2021 high solids protective clearcoat! This stuff has been around for quiet sometime and trusted by many refinishers around the world. All PPG, 3m, and SEM products were used.

I've been driving it on the road since it has been finished. This is the perfect car for a monsterous power plant such as the new 5.0 fuel injected Coyote motor, 347 strocker, 351w, or even a big block. Matched up to a termac trans and a locking rear end! Or just leave it the way it is and hit the road! Enjoy weekend cruises, days on the track or as a daily. This car is a blast to drive! Happy bidding Matt
