This bottom one shows it after he painted it “Fire Engine Red” which was actually a Porsche color at the time.

Look at the third picture. Did you see the ripples and waves in the rocker panel and the door? Dave I bet the fit and finish on yours is much better than the originals.

Man, I know I'm not the best blocker-outter but you don't have to pick out every flaw on my car, Freddie! OH, You mean Elvis's car. I attribute some of that to old photo distortion, honestly. But they did have their inconsistencies for sure. And remember, his car was a used demonstrator with some race car pedigree to boot.

Undercoating is sprayed in the wells and on the trunk pan. A lot more care for overspray taken this time. So many over restored cars don't have this, but I wanted it on mine. I think it looks better too.
