After 8½ years, I finally get to drive my dream car! Thank you to all of the members who have provided a vast amount of information that made my project possible. Thanks to the awesome sponsor vendors that help keep the hobby alive.

It's always great to see the end result of hard work, and a project actually getting finished. Very nice!

Great looking 65, I’m a little partial to 65s. Congratulations! How about some details, drivetrain, etc.

Thanks! The motor is a 400 inspired by an old Carcraft build. 10.5cr 440source stealth heads, pretty mild cam. 727 trans that I built from spare parts from a buddys racing leftovers. The car is a tribute to my dad's highschool car. His stories got me into the hobby at a pretty young age.
