Welcome Barry,Waving
Gotta' like those '64's! They drive so nice. Like your parents, I bought one new in '64 but wasn't smart enough to keep it. Now I'm on my 3rd. one.

Welcome. I'm thinking that you have some great memories of that car as you were growing up. Is it the first car that you drove? Ask away about the conversions you are going to make. Good luck with the build.
