Well, I've decided to start another thead similar to my 64 Dart post car. Hopefully the postings and pictures will be a help for anyone interested in starting a project like this so here it is.
This is the car that I picked up this past May up in North Central Washington State. As you can see it's a pretty soldid car. I tore off the old top since it was pretty much shreaded.
It's a standard 270 V8 car. It currently has a 1969 318 with the early 904 pushbutton tranny. I bought this car from an older gentleman who due to health problems wasn't6y able to do the car.
The interior was started with newer seat covers. Someone painted the interior which will require me to spend some time putting everything back so that the interior will be somewhat correct.
Here are my current plans for this car.
Complete rest mod with a slant toward a rat rod look. Not sure on what that will look like.
A 66 273 will go back in the engine bay. It will be pretty much stock with some mods such as a little higher compression, a little work on the heads (920s), ISKY E-4 solid cam, Edelbrack D4B, Carter carb, electronic ignition, stock manifolds with the 65-66 hipo exhaust system. The tranny will remain stock with probably a shift kit added . Since the car came with a 8.75 a set of 3.23s are on order.
Body will remain stock. I will run without the front bumper like my post car. The car will be white with a white top. I'll be running steelies, 14X6 in the front and 14X7's in the rear. Not sure on the tires yet. As you can see the car has later ralley wheels with 195/60 all the way around. I'm sure I'll be making changes as I go along.
My goal is to have the car ready for SpringFling 2010. I plan on driving it down and joining up with the cruise down the coast.
