OTHER PARTICULARS
The coachwork preparation & paint was professionally executed by Schok's Auto Body in Milwaukee. Mike Schok is one of the fussiest body guys; he would not paint the stripes on the hood and deck lid until the first owner drove the car for 100 miles to ensure perfect alignments; as you can see, those Wimbledon White stripes align absolutely perfectly with decks closed.
The first owner added a battery box below the luggage compartment floor to provide for extra storage space. The deck lids are propped open by hydraulic struts. SS hardware and aluminum rivnuts were installed where the typical 'standard' consists of pop rivets.
Additional custom touches:
custom SS sidepipes, SS hoop-style bumper, chromed quick jacks in front.
You'll encounter no unpleasant surprises. Oh! And it's a pure adrenaline rush to drive. Make certain you have it pointed in the direction you want to go before you push hard on the 'Go' pedal.
