Vehicle Story
Everything on this build minus paint/body was done by my brother Rocky Lawson and myself at my shop Kustom Image, in Salem Illinois; from setting up the chassis so it would lay out with the air ride, wiring, drive train, building the stereo, interior to final assembly.
This car was purchased from Bob Owens of Owens Salvage Co., in Wellington, TX.
