The firewall and cockpit were moved back 18 inches. He fitted it with a new grille, hood, deck and taillights. The exhaust was routed through the tail lights, something that made the pipes look red hot at night. Sedan doors were used by reworking the top section. Bumpers were from a 1949 Studebaker Commander. The hood and deck are equipped with an automatic lift operated by compressed air. Many other modifications were accomplished in this vehicle.
