I am still collecting parts for this one, but its getting there. Plans are going with a 1959 235 with car 3spd floor shift, dropped axle with 51-4 passenger car front hubs and brakes with an open driveline rear end and a frame mount power booster/dual master cyl. keeping it simple as I can. I ned to find a rearend/front hubs/brakes/upper and lower grille sections/front bumper with brakets/and windshield frame/steering column with wheel. Not sure that I will not just go with a flush winshield and do away with the crank out frame. I also just want to go with a painted grille, not chrome. Somebody roughed in a 53-4 chev passenger car instrument cluster. Not sure if I will clean up the instal and keep it or just fill the area and punch holes for a set of white face round gauges. Leaning towards red with black fenders. This is a long term project so progress will be few and far between while my 16 year old and I get his project up and running. Here is what I am working with.

Thanks, I am going to build a model of it first and see how I like it. Actually going to build three models with all three different dashes, different colors/wheels and engines just to see what I like the best.
