Next up was the body, put in the talented hands of Fred Graefe III and crew at F & F Speed Inc. They fabricated a custom designed firewall and engine bay to make room for the "BIG CUBIC INCH" small block Roush motor that was soon to take up residence in. After the body had been gone over with a fine tooth comb looking for any imperfections, it was time to apply the flawless Green & Black paint squirted on by Fred Graefe III. Inside a custom designed dash was created out of 18 gauge steel to house the Dolphin gauges which have an illuminated light green background, and then nicely grouped into a piece of billet aluminum. An Ididit steering column is topped off with a LeCarra Banjo wheel.

Last but not least, is the interior stitched up by Dave Bennett of Hock Auto Upholstery out of Westminster, Md. The seats are done in a beautiful tan leather accented with a dark green tweed insert that have 34 Woodie embroidered at the top of both seats. On the floor you'll find a matching tan carpet dressing out the rest of the interior. Within Maggie's reach is the floor mounted shifter surrounded by a very cool looking V-8 designed console that even lights up in neon green on the outer edges. Way in the back is a matching lighted V-8 on a shelf with speakers on either side. Everything in the back is all wrapped in the same eye appealing tan carpet, with the spare tire neatly tucked underneath. A Vintage Air A/C unit was installed to keep everyone inside comfortable on those hot summer days when the need arises to go cruising in the Woodie.
