The car’s expert paintwork is by Jeff (Da Bat) Miller of Miller Customs. The Roadster is adorned in 2008 Mustang RedFire Pearl with vivid red stripes, and complemented by 2010 GM Cobra/Gold accents.

Kevin didn’t stop at the basics. He added several features for comfort and functionality such as the Vintage air heater, heated seats, Rostra cruise control, adjustable seats, passenger side roll bar, Breeze Automotive side mirrors, and added a drop trunk. Kevin’s car has USB chargers and Boss Marine Grade BT radio (MCKGB350B.6) with two 6″ speakers. For added convenience, the roadster wiper kit, Forte’s mechanical throttle linkage, and a Factory Five soft top from DTS.

From its carefully chosen components to the handcrafted drivetrain and stunning paint job, every aspect of Kevin’s build reflects his style, dedication, skill, and passion for the art of car building.
