The Bel of the Ball
This particular car was purchased by the Autodream Group in November of 2007 from a gentleman in Rockford, Illinois. It was purchased without an engine or transmission. According to the owner of the car he had owned it for years with the idea of one day putting a roll cage and tubs in the car with a new big block and 4 speed and go drag racing. We kept the idea of the big block and 4 speed but luckily saved the car from the cutting torch & tubs.
The chrome & stainless steel trim was in excellent shape and was all there except one window trim piece, which we located later, and a couple pieces of the body side trim. Since we didn’t have all the body side trim we decided to “airbrush” on the trim instead of finding all the original pieces. We achieved this by using 4 different shades of silver and it look’s great on the car. We had both bumpers re-chromed and managed to buff and polish all the remaining trim back to its original glory. The underbody was very solid and had been mostly gravel guarded and painted black. We decided to just touch it up and leave as is so that the car could be driven with confidence.
