§ 02 / THE BUILD

Acres of panel, zero excuses.

On a car this size, paint has nowhere to hide. We stripped it down to bare metal and sound deadening, worked every long panel straight, and blocked the body until the reflections ran true from bumper to bumper.

A full custom respray and restored brightwork brought the Eldorado back to the presence it had in the showroom — only cleaner. New upholstery throughout, right down to the embroidered headrests.

Acres of panel, zero excuses.
