She's an inch lower than in this pic, and I replaced the steering box as the old one had some play in it. I rebuilt the front end with all Moog stock.

The only things I have done is add the Hotchkiss frame connector/ tunnel stiffener they put out for these guys, and put their sway bars on it as well.

I have put disc brakes all around as with the drums you might as well cut holes in the floor so you can do a Fred Flintstone to stop.

There she is. My reward to myself for surviving an Arsenic poisoning (no my wife didn't try to polish me off).

It was born in Texas and still has the original inspection sticker on the windshield, which is the one she came with. It has matching numbers all around, and the motor hasn't needed a rebuild, or much of anything for that matter.

I did change the tires all over to Firestone wide ovals. Whitewalls just weren't cutting it.
