Hi all, been lurking the last couple days and figured I would introduce myself and talk about my new project. I'm Glenn, I live in Utah and the proud owner of a new project. Its a 65 Coupe that I picked up for the grand price of FREE! The previous owner started working on it, lost interest, and offered it to me. I got it home, and am now in the process of doing an inventory of the parts. First look shows a body with rust in the usual places, it will need new floorboards and firewall. The trunk looks solid, with some minor rust in the rear quarters. I haven't had a chance to look at the cowl vents, but I suspect there is rust there. Its got a 9" rear, from an unknown vehicle. It came with a 351W block, heads and crank. Once I get numbers, I'll have a better idea of what I have. C4 trans. The guy bought new replacement floorboards and a firewall, new hood and trunk lid, subframe connectors, and other stuff. I'm thinking restomod for this, with the 351, C4 (or AOD), and the 9". I may go with a Fox or MII front suspension, with 4 wheel disc brakes. So I will be coming here for advice and help as I start the teardown and build. I'll start posting pics this weekend (weather permitting). Now that I have got that out of the way, I hope to mine a lot of good info from here and other sites!
Thanks!
Glenn
