Looking good so far. I like the way you changed it from a 4 door to a 2 door. In high school my buddy had a 1965 Dodge Dart GT. It came with a 4 speed trany and the small V-8 witch had seen better days, so we pulled that out and shoved in a 340 V-8. Had to ad fenderwell headers witch nessesitated turning up the torsion bars to raise the front end, and then we raised the rear and cut out the rear fenderwells and added flairs so we could shove some L60X14 under the back. All of this extra power and traction promptly grenaded the differential. So out all of that came and we added stiffer springs and a posi. rear end. After we got all of that sorted out, it was the quickest car in town for several years.

Because it's not a Dodge. :lol: JK. Beautiful as always. Nice find. When I was looking all I could find was the Altaya car @ $100.00
