Red/White restored Fintail

We've been working on redoing the head on our LeMons race car and came across this at our mechanic's shop. Thought it was good enough to photograph!

Wow, that car is immaculate! That custom paint job is cool. I really like the way that the interior is two-toned. I want to do my W110 and my W116 interior in that same two-tone style (different colors, though).

I think the paint job makes it look too much like a bel-air, but goddam that's gorgeous.

I've seen it there twice now, and it gets better looking every time I see it. Love it.

Don't know, didn't ask. Since the rest of the car is restored, I'd assume the engine and the bay was totally redone as well. Next time I'm over there, I'll try to snap a pic of the engine bay - I'd kinda like to see that.
