Hi all.
My name is Todd and I live in Southwestern Ontario, Canada. I am currently working on a 63 Lark 2 door sedan. I hope to have it driveable by the end of next summer. The Lark will be black with red interior. A Stude V8 backed by a T10 leading to a Dana 44 twin traction rear end will provide the motivation. Why a Stude?
It's different
It's lightweight
Stude V8's are tough as nails- steel cranks, gear driven cams, stout blocks and some came factory with Paxtons
Easy to work on (eg: Rear fenders BOLT on!)
Tons of NOS parts are still available dirt cheap. Try finding an NOS hood for $109 for your Chevy II!
Ford/Chrco bolt pattern means a huge selection of wheels. I'm thinking of a 60's look with Radir Wheels and cheater slicks. I also have a set of NOS doggie dish hubcaps ($47 on ebay) for that stealth look.
Here's how she looks now:

You don't see many of these at cruise night!
