    Looks pretty straight! It looks like it needs something between the shock towers. What are your plans?

    The car has no engine right now. I am going to build a 351 and make it into a solid roller motor maybe run 100 hp nos. I want to put the small bumpers on it (if I can). The body work will be done by my dad who has over 40 years bumping and painting.

    I think I am going to turn this into a custom street rod and maybe a little strip as well.

    The floors HAVE to be replaced. I have a good idea on how to do that, thanks to the people on this site.

    Nice project, Read up on notching the shock towers you'll be a lot happier with the extra space for the 351....
