the 65 project...opinions

[hotrodredneck]

So as you all know, I sold My wife's 97 GT to get her a 65 coupe. Her dream car. and it's almost all original. Numbers matching, but the engine was redone a few years ago with a slightly bigger cam, the internals of the tranny were replaced in 91 too. Other than that she is clean.
We already got some styled wheels for it in the 15" size, so we can convert to front disks. we didnt get them from the company listed in the pic, and we got blue center caps.

got these tires for it, but I think I am going to sell them and find some white wall ones. I like the look on the car.

anyway, we we got some new parts for it on the way, like new quarterpanel ornaments, new tail lights, new badge kit and the sort.
I was looking at getting this stainless steel bolt kit from KAR

included in the kit is:
HOOD TO HOOD HINGES
HOOD CATCH BAR
HOOD HINGE TO BODY
HORNS
OUTER SHOCK TOWER COVERS
HOOD LATCH BRACKET
TOPS OF FENDERS
RADIATOR

I was also thinking about putting in a set of GT fog lights, the kits are pretty cheap to buy and I think it would look good.
here are some pics of the car again:

hmm, not too sure about the whitewalls....since you're going with styled steel I'd go with redlines or even white letter tires....JMO :whoknows:

[hotrodredneck]

when i sau whit walls, i dont mean the HUGE ones...like the ones that are there now

I still think redlines would look better on the styled steel...:cool:

[hotrodredneck]

I saw a pic of them...you are right, they would look good. But i also sow somw with plain blackwalls, they are nice looking too...What do y'all think about the gt foglights though?

Hotrod, I got to see this car in person one day, looks pretty sweet so far:nod:

Don't forget to tint the windows:D

[hotrodredneck]

yeah I know about that....you are always welcome to come by bro. I am closer than before by about 15 minutes

[hotrodredneck]

but, I either have to cut holes in the rear valance, or get a new one so the tips go thru it...I dunno

we got a lot of parts in for the car last week. We got the upper ball joints, the quarter panel trim, new emblem kit, and tailights in. Hopefully the weather and my pnumonia, and the weather will allow some garage time tomorrow
