Bill's vert part 2 " a clean slate"






















The car has been chemically dipped removing all bondo, rust and paint. Bill trailered it back home to start the long process of welding the body to make it look new again. The body proved to be straight with as much rust as expected, mostly in the lower areas of the car. As soon as it came home it was completely sealed and primered to ensure that no rust got a chance to do it's damage again.






Bill's 57 vert part 1 "before"

After driving this car for four years, Bill's vert was showing it's age. Bad heater supports, bad floor pans, major rust and a bad front clip. It was taken apart for a major pan off. The body proved to be tough to strip with at least 5 coats of paint on it, so the decision was made to send it to Revivation in Watchula Fl to have it chemically dipped. It was there for six months in waiting and having the process done

Mike's 54 vert



Mike's 54 vert is one clean car. Purchased some years ago, Mike has been buying tidbits for this car since he first drug it home. Recently he has added a new wiring harness and a 4.5" narrowed beam. Plans for the car are some sweet 4.5" Fuch's up front and deep sixes in the rear.







Mike's style is resto custom but he is going to build this into a rat vert for phase one. The car is super clean having no wrecks and no rust. Also expect lots of goodies, because Mike is an accessory nut and has many NOS or very clean rare accessory's for this car. Keep checking back for updates on this sweet ride!
