The body is straight and solid overall. It has been shortened eight inches and channeled three inches. Working doors that open and shut well. The windshield is the only glass in the car. The bullet holes in the cowl show the only signs of damage on the body (see pics) non structural and easily repaired if desired.

The interior is bare bones but very comfortable (see pics). Padded seats wrapped in a Serape style outdoor cloth and aluminum floor. Vintage Chris Craft steering wheel, Autometer gauges, and steel dash and drive line cover sums it up.
