I have all the original headlights, turn lights and brand new LED taillights. The old original taillights were just cheapy trailer lights stuck back there. Looked tacky!
I had some PVC pipes glassed in back there that will receive the new LED lights and wanted to make it look more like a Ferrari from the rear.
Also, new Plexiglass side windows.
My son has stripped everything off to start sanding and filling. Yuck! Don't like body work!
Cranks easy and runs good. Clutch, pres. plate and release bearing probably have about 1 hour of run time, as well as ball joints and several other essentials.
There is a rear shroud that goes from one side to the other and finishes out the fender wells and covers all that underneath. It has been sanded and primed and is ready to shoot. I have it off hanging up in the ceiling at my shop for safekeeping.
A new battery has been relocated from the original spot inside the fender well (which necessitated removal of the rear wheel to jump it off) to right in the front center in the hood scoop and this can be seen in photos still to come.
Air shocks in the rear make the ride height adjustable and in the center of the rear panel (trunk area) is a hole where the original air schrader valve was located.








The engine really runs good and started easily after 3 years of sitting. I think it runs better than stock, but don't have any idea if anything has been done to it, as far as hop-up. I wanted to put fancy new small oval Halogen lights in the front, and then later on, add the smoked lexan covers over them and then found out that they would melt the lexan very quickly, so I stayed with the old chrome-covered lights that came there.
Seats were custom-upholstered by Travis Brothers Upholstery in Covington. I am 6'1" and once you sit inside and "nest" for just a second, it actually feels like your recliner. You just have to get in and out the right way.
The rusty steel plate on the door is another area that I had started customizing.
The door latches were of the same type that are on a truck tool box. They were very ugly!
I had that removed and put a plate there that could be glassed over for the "Shaved Door Handles" look.
I took out the stock latch mechanism and got one from a big truck and mounted it in the body. Pic 024 shows the interior door handle and the striker pin. The latch mechanism in the lower body has an interior handle down low toward the front of the opening. I have a security system with remote door opener that is in there somewhere that is wired to solenoids to open the doors. I think it still needs finished, as far as wiring (been a long time for the old memory). I was also going to drill a small hole in the body and run a cable with a small ring on it inside the fender well (so as to be unseen) and connect it to the door release mechanism, just in case the battery died and the remote wouldn't open the doors.
Pic 025 shows the door up, but the hinges and screws are all laying inside since we are trying to do some sanding.

Another important thing that I have had done was the stabilizing of both doors. From the factory, these doors were extremely flimsy. Pic 024 showing the striker pin, also has some detail as to the steel rod that has been shaped and glassed in all the way around the window and down both sides, and this has made both doors very rigid.
Some of the stress cracks in the gel coat were from the lack of support there.
I really don't want to sell it, but I really need to put that money elsewhere, and that is the only reason. I have more pics and would be happy to answer any questions. 901-229-3505
