Just picked this up. Not sure of the plans for it as of yet. More pix in the gallery if you are interested. Feedback is appreciated!

Looks like a big but worthwhile project. I not a stock nazi so if it were mine I would just build it to look fairly stock and play with the stance a little. It's no fun (and not cheap) to have to hunt down all the correct parts all the time just to please the purists. Have fun with it.

Cool man.

Yea, it is a complete shell with doors, glass, decklid, hood, seats, fenders, trim etc... I got a decent deal on that stuff, the guy wanted another $800 for a '65 rolling chassis ( no engine ) with 6 or 7 out of 10 pans, and an untested trans....with no title.... I decided I'd just grab the shell and parts. I have a restored '64 chassis in storage that I may put this on. I cant afford a "purist" resto, so I will probly just assemeble what I can from what I have and add correct parts as I can afford them. :D
