i am a 15 year old guy who has grown up around cars all my life. From working on a 60 buick for 8 years to dragracing to going to the locat circle track. Now i am working on a 1936 3 window ford with my mom and dad, that will hopefully be a cool hot rod. My plans for it are a new mustang front end, along with a 1966 427 from a corvett,700r4 trans.,and new rear end.
That's a nice old coupe, just improve that beauty with upgrades Youngun, don't put the torch to it please! Read up and study what the Hamb is about, we are mostly old school 50's and 60's hot rods. What you're talking about is a 70's street rod, they are a dime a dozen. It's your car and you can do what you like but just remember, they don't make 36 coupes anymore!
Welcome from Texas. I know it is hard to be patient at a young age but don't rush into changing that car--it looks awesome! 343w has given you some great advice and I wanted to echo it! Good luck and enjoy--whatever you decide to do with it! Eddy in Dallas
