Well I am new here and thought it would be best to start the build thread of this hear. The story is a local guy I know stopped by last week and told me he found a 60's mopar and he was going to buy the engine for his "Rat Rod"becaus ehe thinks it has a Hemi in it. Then he stopped back in and told me he went and looked at the car and it wasn't a hemi and was wondering if I was interested in looking at it. So needless to say I went with him and to my surprise I eneded up with this 64 Dodge Polara 2 door hartop. I thought this would be a great cat for the wifey. And well I was right she just love the thing. The engine is a poly and I believe it to be a 318.

The car is in pretty decent shape for a NY car and is pretty complete. The bad thing is that is is hurting in the floors and torsion bar crossmember area. I am alomost thinking that it would be better to go with a straight axle and fab up floors for it. I say this because the Wife actually loves the look of the B-Body drag cars from the 60's.

The first pics are of it when we first got it home and the next are after I installed her new wheels

Straight axle cars look really cool, but generally handle pretty squirly. If its gonna be for the wife I'd think twice about going that route unless she is a really great driver. Best of luck which ever way you go.
