The floors and trunk pan are original and have never seen rust. All the sheet metal is original. (SS hood, fenders, inner and outer rear wheel houses etc) The car was all taken down to bare metal and a patch panel was installed on each quarter panel and also on the lower part of both fenders. This car was restored 2 years ago by the previous owner. I took it to the next level by further detailing the under carriage. It had all the original under coat on it. I took off all the under coat and found that this car was the best car that I have ever worked on. I then painted the under carriage first with DP90 PPG epoxy primer then with Hot Rod black. This car has 71,000 original miles on it and the door panels are also still the originals. The seats were redone with the correct code 753 black cloth inserts. This car drives as good as it looks. It shifts very well and everything feels tight. All the stainless was polished. The rims are the originals with date codes. The engine is the original with numbers matching and so is the rear end. The only thing that has been changed is the transmission. This car has the original build sheet that was found in the front bench seat when it was getting new seat skins. The dates and codes of all the parts are below.
