Got any pics...??

It sounds pretty cool to me. Nothing described that would keep it from being streetable...drop in a milder motor .. or not), with some Pro-Street treaded tires, maybe different gears?, and have fun.

Not a single mod regretted on the 63. It is the only car I have ever been involved in modifying. It is progressing but will be a while.
