I dont want to go the route of pro-touring so no need to tube out the back the car for large tires. Prob not a stock resto as its prob not the correct engine/tranny and to be honest im not all that cray about every little detail being perfect and show quality. So i guess im leaning toward a street/strip car. Something i can get on at the track, but still has the ability to cruise around town and be somewhat street-able and somewhat reliable on a week end drive. So the interior is not too important. So i guess partial resto/street/strip car.

I am curious about the hood it has as it doesn't clear the ****y air cleaner he has on there and its not hood with the 2 scoops towards the front.

My father is fairly knowledgeable about these older cars and will be a great asset to me. Im going to have to pick his brain. My mother used to own a blue 73 mustang (much like that green one in the long island junk yard, pic near the bottom) that my father wrenched on that and he used to have an old vette. but that was before my time. He was also used to detail and paint cars back in the day When he and his brothers owned a gas station down in AC.

Oh and he offered the garage to me today, well sorta.
ha, he asked how much it was going to cost for me to store the car. I shot back with the pices i had pulled of the net and he later in the talk somewhat opened the door to me using the garage.
