The mechanical overhaul included flushing and replacing the vital fluids including oils and coolant, retorquing the engine and transmission bolts, replacing filters and belts and a comprehensive engine tune-up. A four-wheel brake inspection revealed all drums, wheel cylinders and shoes to be in excellent condition; all brake hoses were replaced, and the entire system was purged and refilled. The power steering system was overhauled with new hoses and belts. New shock absorbers were installed and a professional alignment performed, and a custom large-diameter sway bar patterned after the smaller original was installed, resulting in noticeably improved handling. New vacuum hoses to the windshield wipers, washers, and radio antenna were installed along with fresh wiper blades and washer pump. All interior coverings were replaced with leather to match the original materials; new original-type carpets were also installed along with weather stripping as needed (a complete new kit is included). The trunk interior was likewise renewed and insulation added to the underside of the hood. The original GM frame paint and undercoating are in excellent condition, and were refreshed with a simple wiping down.
