    I like all of your ideas except for the Mustang II front end.

    Firewall is stock and not cut.. I did the front independent suspension just because I have never done one.. I do like the way it rides and the bolt in kit was a cinch to install...

    Looks good to me! You've made improvements that will make the car more drivable and for the most part, are unseen. I like that! Hope you enjoy many many miles in this car.

    Looks real cool. But the ordinary crate motor a 3 speed is grandpa boring. A car as cool and original could of been way more cool with a bit more though without sacrificing driveability. But keeping a bit more old school survivor.
