·Rear tail lights are from a 1965 Thunderbird and are frenched in.They are notsequential, but could be.

All welding and fabricating were done by a respected fabricator.

Mechanically the engine was professionally rebuilt by a respected engine builder. The previous owner had put about 2,000 miles on it.The rebuild was done years ago when the ownerdecided to restore the rest of the car. The car then sat for many years. It has recently had a new alternator, water pump, sending units for the oil and temperature.The gaskets were also changed.
