and the upper side trim has been modified to meet up with the rear window trim. All the trim below the belt- line has been removed (revealing some swoopy body lines), the taillight glass is frenched in, and the oversized original trim is removed. Pot O’ Gold then straightened everything out and laid down the Axalta Greige that originally came on a 2020 Mitsubishi. The blood red interior matches the powder-coat- ed chassis and is all classic, no gimmicks. The stock dash and extension were filled with Vintage Air con- trols, dual cup holders, Dakota Digital gauges, and a non-tilt column with a custom ’46 Lincoln steering wheel. The interior was finished off with a Lokar shifter, ’67 Impala seats nestling a ’67 Comet center console, and the stock rear seat. Big ‘O Fabrications
stitched the blood red leather and laid the matching carpet. Pot O’ Gold then wired everything together before they slapped on the Buick Riviera repro wires by Wheelsmith wrapped in Coker wide-white rubber and hit the road to Pueblo in 2024. Zach and the team at Pot O’ Gold were looking to build a cool driver custom, and they didn’t expect all the accolades, but that’s a lot of what’s so attractive about the Merc, a resto mod-custom that’s ready to enjoy. Of course, Zach has had to let April and Shannon take his dream car on a dream tour, but he can’t wait for the upcoming summer. Expect to see Zach and family cruising the treads off the Diamondback wide-whites and can’t wait to see what’s next for Pot O’ Gold Kustoms!
