James: What's long range your plan for that '64? Color, rims, interior, mods, etc? Looks like an interesting project and I love those '63-'65s. thumbsup

flat black with a clearcoat, funeral parlor interior.
it's going to be a daily driver and it's already over budget so I haven't thought much about rims, really. I know there aren't a lot of options for them as well. mods? nothing huge, I have a magnaflow exhaust for it, scarebird disk brake conversion and a boxful of LEDs to replace lamps with. We're pretty middle class so it's not going to be a showcar or anything earth-shattering - just the car I wanted to put together as opposed to taking out a loan to buy something that I didn't like from a dealership.

That'll be a beauty when it's finished. I want a Riv of that style for my next project.

I'm generally anti-east coast, but if I make it that way we'll go out for a spin for sure.
