Picture from the car show at Little Italy. Dang it, I didn’t get the under construction award, it went to some cat driving a two tone primered ‘59 El Camino.
At least I tried and brought the car out to a show and entered it.
I used a ton of simple green and cleaned the engine compartment.
The car is so original that the blackout paint overspray is present on the underside of the hood and the front grill. Even the brake pedal is the factory colors. Great reference for any future restorations.
