Hey fellas, I'm new at this so don't beat me up too much!
I'll make it short, I was given a 1965 convertible from a buddy of mine after sitting on the side of his house for 27 years, I took it as a joke and took it home. I started with scrapping 2/3 of the frame and grafting a '91 front clip and a Dana 44 from the same donor car. Built a rotisserie and went at it, added a Mako conversion and just got it painted. After that, I hope some of you guys will feel sorry for me and help me if I have any question bc. I have an assembly manual and to tell you the truth is less than useless to me.
Thanks for letting me in!

I don't think that a C2 and a C4 will average out to a C3, but you have a great project going on. Good Luck
