§ 02 / THE BUILD

Every system, rebuilt.

This '65 came to us a solid roller — straight body, no rust, but faded original paint and nothing underneath it worth keeping. Troy wanted more than a repaint: a car that drives as good as it looks.

So we touched everything. New suspension and brakes front to back, a fresh drivetrain under the hood, and a 5-lug conversion with new wheels and tires to modernize the stance and the stop. The body came down to bare metal for true panels and a deep green respray, and the cabin was rebuilt from scratch — cognac leather, a custom sound system, wood-rim wheel, and trim to match. Fifteen months later, it's a completely different car underneath the same lines.

Every system, rebuilt.
