Darryl went to an incredible amount of work to smooth out the frame rails and the underbody (of course, with no suspension components in place. All of the suspension bits were treated to a fresh coat of chrome! The car was never this well-finished when first built in 1960, nor thereafter until the car’s final restoration in 2007.
When seen outside, the grace and subtlety of the car are easily seen. Decades before the wedge look appeared in mainstream new cars, the car tapers to the front of the car. The building in the background is Darryl’s Rod and Custom Museum – it’s quite a place!
