It will be a street car....But will make a few journeys down to WSID...as it's only 20 mins away.

It will be a Ponti engine residing in the engine bay.

Here is a trial fitting of my 455 that is in the '60 normally...just to get the cross member made up.

And some of the rust repairs that got done.

Rear end will be the Standard Pontiac 9.3" diff...but with a few mods... Standard Drum brake rear.
