just finished last weekend off by driving home the 63 chev fleet side i bought in kyle saskewan,1 owner ,96802 miles on a 230 6cylinder,everything on the truck still works,got the serial numbered warranty book and everything from the owner,it threw a little oil out of the valve cover ,and ran a little warm untill i pulled the thermostat out,rad needs a serious flushing.Over all it ran great for a 41 year old original truck,wife doesn,t want me to chop it into a street rod but i,m leaning that way,trouble is i bought it for her though.Thinking about a black cherry paint scheem,with gold chinese dragons instead of flames on it.

You'll have to weigh that one out....if you desicrate her rig what will that do for you in future projects of your own?

Tough call...
