Sounds like some good ideas. Take pics of the process.

I know it's your project and everything but I would love to see a old car like that get a real new heart! Affordability is key and I don't know your pocket books but that would be so cool with a dohc ford motor. Really show it off ya know not just a run of the mill 500 dollar 5.0 motor. It would be cool but it's still a 80's motor ya know!

Is the original 235 in good running shape? I might be looking for a 235 for a shop truck

Very nice!!!! What's your plans ? My wife wants me to get a 40' merc to do a chop and maybe section on one

A DOHC engine in a traditional Kustom is blasphemy IMO. Theres nothing that turns me off more to see modern shit in a tradition looking Hot Rod/Kustom. Keep the modern BS away from the older cars, they have lasted this long without it. One of these is on my list of cars to own one day. A '54 Chevy done right is absolutely beautiful.
'57 Packard tails on this one.

A nice 2 door post like yours.

^^^^ +1 such a nice car like that should be left alone with all the original equipment. I wouldn't touch a damn thing but making it run and drive good with what it has.

All those cars just posted have chopped roofs and I'm almost certain that the bare metal one is sectioned
