Working on a black 65 Cyclone. Been tearing it down to get it blasted and then started fixing and replacing.

What is the Plan John? all original ,hotrod,gasser,drag car.....?

[johnhalabama]

Original as much as possible but 347 or 408 stroker and big brakes. May do mini tubs and sub frame connectors. Leaning toward teardrop hood and maybe fiberglass bumpers.

''Original as much as possible but''... like a young man in 65 would have started doing to his new car little by little,soupin it up,headers,big tires...,,, hotrod is what I call it. & basically what I did. Mini tub you will never regret. you will always be glad you did it. lots of guys beef up the inside of the framerail but cut off the inside flange of the old rail where it is tacked to the floor so you get almost another inch of tub putting the tub right next to the rail.
