That is a great looking car, and I can see why you don't want to mess with the styling too much.  |
Pt Judge: I appreciate you encouragement. The '65 Riviera's (To ME) looked like a custom car right out of the factory, especially the front end. IT look mean, sits low, and that old Nailhead pours out 465 ft. pounds of Torque at 2800 rpm's from the factory stock with one 4 BBL. Add a few goodies to it and the performance is pretty impressive for 45 y.o. technology. Last year on the Nailhead was 1966. All iron, no EFI, no Boost, just good ole American engineering from the late 50's.
That's what I think will make this car a blast is to see if I can make it a true (Recognized) PT Car given the lack of cutting edge Technology on it, and the Outstanding Competition that runs in the PT Community.
Do you have pictures of your Cuda and GTO? I'd be interested to see what you did with them.
Take care,
