Hey,car is looking great! I'm planning on a similar build for my '65 convertible. Would love to see any other pics you have. I saw in the "where do you live thread" that you are from southern IN. I grew up a few miles outside of Evansville. Well,Booneville to be exact.

Small world. My wife and I lived in Boonville for 10 years and recently moved to Newburgh. 1/2 way between Evansville and Boonville.

I will get more pics soon. There are some on my cardomain site if you want to look at those for now.

Thanks,

Yes,definately a small world. IfI remember right,my parents would take us to the river in Newburgh to watch the boat races,or maybe that was Evansville, too long ago to remember. Anyways,welcome to the forum and thanks in advanced for any pics you have of your vert. By the looks of the one pic, that car is gonna have a wicked stance!
