after doing a lot of thinking on the build I'm thinking this isn't the car I want to chop up to build a brawler...the car is just too nice and straight to hammer...in order to make it work I'm gonna have to go disc brakes, 9" rear, new suspension, and a whole list of other mods you guys know more about than I do...I'm gonna keep this car to cruise on nice days after installing a/c and begin my search for a straight 61 or 62 biscayne...buying a basic solid car makes more sense to me for a go fast project than to undo a 4 year restoration...sure, numbers don't match but it's a nice ride
