The first idea of "theme" for this car, was to keep the fifthies atmosphere. As the car had some changes made early on, and still many of the correct pieces intact, it was no option to make it over restored =) The patinated paint applied in the 60 ies is preserved as good as possible, with the obvious color mismatches were new paint is added. The car probably had a few touch ups along the way as well, so getting it correct all around was out of the question. Having lived a tough lifte on the road, the car is full of batlle scars and small dents. Well what do you do with a car full of scars, and wanting a fifthies atmosphere? You could follow the common road and slam it, put on some chromed replicas and get your self a nice looking rat. But they didn't have slammed rats in the fifthies, did they? Well, as the picture of the half finished interior will tell, the "theme" headed another direction =) Less is more?
