Isn't that what Vic Morrow drove in "California Kid"?

A quick word of caution here Patronus, those cars aren't as "Roomy" as one might think at first glance. ALOT of the Foward Look members have one helluva time dumpin' an early Hemi in one of those with headers. Course, that's with the stock front sus. too...

Agreed, I'd definately upgrade the front to something later. Like independant, with discs. If you can "delete" that heater, would be even more room.

Thanks for the ideas and pics all. I talked to Heidt's, and they should have something we can use. I just need to do some mock-up and
get an updated track width for the front. We were also thinking of using truck headers.

Cool car, cool fins, cool color, and its a 2 door... Restore it, just dont paint it black.... Keep that original color, looks much better...    I do like watching your builds...

So, the floors are going in, inner and outer rockers fit pretty well.. Working on a Helix IFS kit from a guy here on Craigslist..
Got it listed for only $1350! I would LOVE to have this build exclusively from Craigslist.. I have a question though.. for all the rodders here. I'd like to run the alternator off the drive shaft behind/under the rear seat. That with a elect. water pump removes all pulleys, belts, and fans. Just wondering if anyones had any luck with this obscure mod? Im pretty sure I can get in down, just looking at ways to keep tension on the belt. Generic idler pulley?

For the love of God, do NOT leave it the original color.   Pastels do not belong on cars.
