Great video... The chemical bath striped the paint on the trolley too! Great to see the old school metal working bring done!

They should've painted the car red like how Elvis used to drive it.

After watching this video, I have what is probably a stupid question. Is this a restoration or is this creating a copy of Elvis' car using his car as a template. It doesn't appear that anything from the original car is used but instead everything is re-fabricated. Was there any part of the original car reused? Don't get me wrong, it's beautiful, I just wonder how much can you fabricate before it's no longer the same car?

He owned two of these cars. This car was restored to its original glory for a reason. This was the plan all along by the man who found and kept the car for so many years. Elvis would love it... So be it!
