A 70's thing
Man, that red really pops! I like the Red/Black combo interior too! 
Buttt...ya shoulda kept the old hood! Then again I might be prejudiced.
A lot of similarities between the cars. Built in the early 70's, later model engine (mine a '69 302), ralley wheels and the hoods.

Wade, I noticed you said you used PPG BC/CC. I did as well on the 62 I am currently restoring. I really like the color. What color is that? Thanks

What a great story. I love the engine is a real Chevy II L-79. That might have more value than a crate engine. But the fact it is where it is, adds to your great story and history.
This is the 3rd solid axel barn discovery story I have learned of since November 1st. 2017 is going to be a fun year of new discovery and restoration. I hope to meet you at an event in the future. Your photos show great work. CONGRATS
