dissembled the entire body and painted the pieces by hand, in
Cadillac Color Red E. Installed the complete Ron Francis wiring
system, sound and equalizer. Finished the lighting, the horns and
electronics. In this era, the driver got out on the passenger side,
after locking his side from the interior; then the passenger door
lock had the keyway, which would secure the car. This might have
been a safety feature so the driver would not disembark into the
street. Tony had to restructure the rumble seat lid using new metal
for alignment. The rumble seat has a functioning key lock, and the
compartment holds the battery. Tony contracted for the glass work
done at his house. And Tony arranged for Angelo, the upholsterer,
who did the complete interior from headliner to doors to floor
mats.
