    This Cruiser arrived to us here at Cruiser Solutions a few weeks ago for a full and complete restoration. This 1982 original steel body is a good candidate for a nice stock restoration. It will require a few original replacement parts such as a new hood and front fenders. Watch as we install lower door bottoms to the front and rear doors.
