As I said in the beginning, this car is not fully restored. Although it looks very good, it will need to be painted at some point as there are numerous cracks and some chips in the paint. The drivers side door could use new hinge pins. Also, the body has never been separated from the frame so the frame has not been restored. The rear cross section of the frame was replaced due to someone hooking a chain to this area at some time in the past and bending it.
