Just asking for some opinions, and yes.. I understand about all the body parts and yes it is my car, do as I like! The project is one in a long line of cars since mid 80's, and all my keepers always have seemed to find loving homes elsewhere. And I am old enough to say, this IS A KEEPER!!! Lets hope!
The car is an X home for rodent and critters small and larger. 64 Savoy, originally slant, 3 on tree, white with red bench, Heater delete car. It had sat since mid 80,s and pretty solid body except floors and nose of hood. The interior was demolished, nothing but springs left to the seats. I got it 95 rady for more primer and blocking.
I build a couple of 64 Savoys way back in mid 90's, slants that got 440s and 4 speeds and were some of my favorite builds, just street driven mild hotrods. I liked them more than any "rare"
model I had , be it 70 Hemi Cuda, AAR Cuda, 440 68 Charger RT, etc. But they went away I hate to say.
This Savoy will get some form of B or RB motor, 4 speed, and Jeep A100 style seats, no back seat, sort of a SS version wanna be sorta! I hope I just make myself make it a keeper for the rest of my days, and when to kick the can, the heirs can do what ever. But some how someone always prys them out of my hands sooner or later.
I am trying to decide if to keep it the original white with red interior. I would have MAYBE have to dye the seats red or maroon, but done that many times. Door panels will either come from Gary Ball or me or someone just make them. I have tinker with the idea of black seats and carpet and red/maroon dash, and red/maroon door panels.
I have a white 62 Dart and wife loves blue. I have thought of a 64 med blue for her tastes. Just how many white Mopars do I need. She has a blue RoadToad already.
I know the number guys will say keep it original right down the slant!
I figure since I am changing it all over anyway, color is just tastes.
All comments are appreciated and valued.
