Update from user on BAT-This car was NOT built at Steve’s Restorations. It was built at Restorations and Reproductions in the mid 90’s. I know this because I did the bodywork and PJ Markovitch did all the fabrication. It was built for a guy named Paul Wilson and later sold to Tom Gloy. Every piece on this car has been exceptionally modified.
