Paint and Body:
The current black paint is a single stage urethane finish completed by Ty Thomas of Kustom Paint and Body - 713.426.1910. The prior paint scheme (ivory with red stripes) was on the car when I purchased it back in 1997.
Interior Changes:
Year One supplied new front and rear door panels, package tray, headliner, carpet, door sill plates, rear seat arm rests and custom floor mats. Front seats are black ProCar ralley units. For steering, I use a Grant GT Elite chrome four-spoke wheel and keep an eye on all of the car's vital stats with Autometer gauges and tachometer. Gear slamming chores are handled by a B&M Megashifter. Music is provided by a Pioneer tuner, 140 watt speakers, a 200 watt subwoofer and a concealed 600 watt amplifier.
