    Thanks for posting the pictures - she's a gem! I'd echo the consideration for Fat Man Fabrications. I have used their products and found them to be very well made and their tech support folks are dialed in as hot rodders so they have real experience in the stuff they sell. I used a kit for a '63 Nova that came with chrome Carrera coil overs for McPherson struts and I think they look good - but each to their own. I used a power rack out of a Chevy Citation and everything fits nice and works well.

    I'd also make the carb/transmission cable adjustment a priority as well.

    Keep us in the loop.

    Bill, great story and sorry to hear of the loss of your father at that age. It's awesome you were able to track down his old car and be able to purchase it. Good luck with the decision making process now. There are a lof of options. Here is another good place for parts for your coupe as well.
