Flawless... Laser-straight... and Amazing Flames by the legendary Pete "Hotdog" Finlin! The challenge was to bring together a timeless, yet dazzling, exterior with modern touches and a relaxing, nostalgic and functional interior. The result is a balanced, eye-popping street rod where the exterior flows timelessly into the interior with strict attention to every detail in fit, finish and function. The paint job has been ceramic coated for pure brilliance and will never need waxed. This vehicle comes with an independent appraisal report stating it is in condition 1, the highest. It is defined as restored to current maximum professional standards of quality in every area or perfect original with components operating and appearing as new.
