Next was the body where the wing glass was removed and one piece windows installed for that smooth clean look, with all glass by Classic Glass. After the body was completely worked over and smoothed it was squirted in House of Color Sunset pearl orange all done at Garrets. Dressing out the flawless body were Bumper Boys smoothie bumpers, Danchuk custom grille, and door handles. All Fab Inc. was responsible for the Cal-Air name script on the rear replacing the original Bel-Air name.

The interior was the final job in finishing up the wagon, where you'll find a very eye popping floral design material accented in sand colored leather, along with leather and Italian wicker door panels all handled by Appleman Interiors out of Lancaster, Ohio. Classic gauges were installed in the original dash while an Ididit steering column was used and topped off with a Danchuk wheel. Another cool item was the wicker suitcases in the back with speakers installed in them with a home made surf board for that California beach look.
