  1. Looks like you have room to drop that radiator a couple inches and make it flow better

    From what I can see, it's a pretty well built car to begin with, in my mind, a hell of a bargain, cosmetic changes are easy, looking good so far....

    Nice but. That whole front end and suspension would need to go for me. Take off the radiator and get out the cut off wheel and grinder. Speedway and a lot of others sell what I would want ..... but that’s just me.

    @old32 where you live? Maybe I have seen your Nomad around. Is that a 30-31 coupe I see in the background/foreground?

    How do a New Hampshire title and Maine plates manage to go with the same car?

    Truth on that price, and spot-on on 1965.
     
  18. Gimpy, I'm a little surprised at the question. Do some states require an updated title if you move there?

    Every state that issues titles on vehicles does.

    In my state, you have 20-days from the time that you bring the vehicle into the the state to register it, and do your title paperwork.

    I am not a fan of hair pins they turn the front and rear axles into huge sway bars. You swap body lean in a turn to the car trying to lift the inside wheels

    @old32 , I had my doubts at first, but I like where this is going so far. You've already managed to undo alot of the not so good first impressions with just a few simple things. Keep it up.

  25. Looks good! Did you do a "fade" on those wheels, or is that just the lighting?
