History
I purchased the body from America back in 2011, spent months seeking a paint and panel shop that could repair the body and also paint, I found Charlie Hutton one of the best Boyd Coddington's painter who repaired and painted the car throughout 2012, I then shipped it to Australia in a container body, doors, boot, bonnet and little accessories, since that date I spent the following 6.5 years doing the restoration, now we cruise with the windows down and the wind in our hair...living life in the number one iconic car of all times 1957 Chevrolet BelAir 2 door hardtop coupe...woo...hoo
