Let me know what you think.
BTW, the rust on this car is very minimal. Couple pin holes in the floor and little bit of surface rust on the rear quarter wheel lips. Can't wait to get started on it!
Finally got some pics of my new project

Here's some info on the car.
Original 6cyl car later swapped to all V8 components. The car has a 3 speed and the motor that was in the car is what's chilling in the grass
Not to worry though, I doubt I'll be using that engine so I dunno what's gonan happen to it. I was told it was a 289 but haven't verified it yet. I'm still gonna tear it down and get it checked out just for giggles. The front is slammed due to not having any coils in it (I'm surprised nobody saw them behind the seat in the 4th pic )
Cars in real good shape. Only sheetmetal I need to replace is the rear tail panel (dented), battery tray area (rotted
) and a couple small spots where the front floors meet the toe boards. I also need to fix a couple spots where a body shop previously pulled the cowl off to make repairs (thank the lord it's been done already though)
Other than that, should be a fun little restomod. Just plan on rebuilding the suspension with shelby drop up front/1" lowering coils and reverse eye springs out back. I wanna replace the 8" out back with a 9 and may possibly narrow it along with a minitub so I can run some 17x10 or 11's out back with no clearance issues. Duck tail trunk and end caps along with 67 cougar tails. R model apron up front (bumper delete) and 2-3" cowl hood.
Who knows though. First thing for sure is building a rotisserie. I wish I would have made one when me and my dad did the 67 coupe we had.
