It's all steel, english wheeled most of the parts needed. Welded and very little bondo. He's an old time craftsman. He was the barber here in town, retired from that a few years back, but built it in the shop that is the back part of his barber shop. He has redone 2 68 Formula 400 Firebird verts, one for each of his two boys. The one still sits in his building next to his house, because the younger boy doesn't like "old cars". He has had probably 10 58 Impala's in the time we have lived here. Fixes them up and then sells them. Back in the 60's he raced a 59 Del Ray 2 door sedan. this "shorty" took him about 10 years to build.
