the door handles will be removed. The hood will be
decked and peaked in the center. Trunk lid will lose all
moldings & license plate. Factory bumpers will be highly
modified on both ends. Other features will include
fabricated firewall, inner fenders, core support with
built in cold air intake, floors, & wheel tubs.
COLOR -
Paint will be of typical two tone
1955 Bel Air fashion as can be seen in the rendering.
The colors have been chosen but will remain undisclosed
until project nears completion. It will definitely be a
stand out feature for sure. Let’s just say for now, it
will emphasize the “Nickelback” theme.
INTERIOR - Interior renderings are being done at
this time. Once again, like “Ricochet”, Ward Auto
Interiors in Orangevale, California will be working
their magic to make this a stand out feature. Colors are
still on the drawing board at this time but it looks to
be covered in Ultraleather & suede. An elaborate audio
system will be plumbed throughout.
