Started
out as a 1956 Chevy partly customized with a 5 1/2 inch chop
top. Then the top panel was covered with pleated rust and white
naugahyde. The body was sectioned 4 inches throughout upper
panel with a hand formed pancake hood. Front and rear panels
had been molded and sculptured with full cavities and grill
inserts mounted in rubber to absorb shock. Quad headlights and
bottom directional signal are shaded and frenched in.
Center grill has electronic eye to control head lite operations.
Rear fenders and bed had been extended forty inches, with matching
shapes and canted rear panel. The bed was covered in the same
style as the top. Bullet appeleton spotlights installed with
vents on front and rear window. Side molding was hand made half
round steel that housed expanded metal paneling. Triple ripple
side pipes with flared ends. Hubcaps are old base with flippers
and bullet centers and wide white wall Firestone tires. The
interior had full seat inpleates roll/ two tone white pearl
and copper naugahyde with mouton carpet. The dash equipped with
padding and beads of pearl and copper paint. Also a portable
TV and stereo with loud speakers for parties and cruises.
To finish it off, the suspension had been lowered fourteen inches
and all interior and exterior metal accessories were copper
plated. A six cylinder engine also plated and painted. Paint
was white pearl with blends of cooper scallops and hand pin
stripping.
