    Coveralls are so rad! The thing that makes the Harmon's project so unique is the fact that the employees built it from the ground up. Employees threw on the time-tested coveralls before and after work each day, and headed to the shop.

    Instead of messing with the rusted sheetmetal, Harmon's built the '64 hardtop with new floorboards. The crew also added new front fenders, inner fenders, a hood, a grille, side moldings, trim, emblems, lamps and lenses, weather-stripping, bumpers and brackets, and glass.
