Here is my "work in progress" '64
Dru love your car can you give some details on the mods? big and little tires, what sizes? Dropped in front at all? Engine? Interior? I have a 64 sunroof I am working on right now.

- only on front wheels 356 replica hub cup

As soon as I can I have to install a Zenith carb, a Screamer kit and Textile tires.
Front and rear are at standard height. You can find more detail and pics in my new blog at : http://64precal.blogspot.com

Thanks, it is getting there....welding is almost done just need to blast, prime, and slather judicious amounts of Bondo on to smooth everything out... Plans are Indigo blue Grey interior 145 and 165 radials 5" slotted chromies OG Hurst shifter Mild dual carb motor w/heat Euro look (meaning, euro clear front turn signals and amber/red rear lights, and maybe euro bumpers but no bumpers at first) |

Well now that you mention it Dru I'd like to get the other euro stuff on my car too, mainly:
locking ignition
cloth seats
whatever else I didn't mention yet!
Is that stuff readily available?
