Wow does that look clean. What part of the country are you in to find what looks like a rust free car sitting in the woods? What are your plans?

Justin  assuming you now have two 65 coupes? 

Both projects?    or was one to feed the other.....and now you will need to get a 3rd to feed the first two?

look like great builds.....will be watching the events unfold.
