Check Crites Restorations, I think they're in your state.

Hi, that looks just like my car before I cut it all up same color, any way I just love seeing these cars with big tires on them a 460 will wake it up 4 speed or auto, there is not much room under the hood there is a company that makes under dash power brake units for that car bolt right in, your car looks great.
