I have had this car since 97. I have made a lot of changes in past few years, I have done what I can with the funds that I have. The ol Girl has never let me down, it has been on several 6 hour plus drives to car shows and camping. It has taken me almost two years to get it back to driving status, what a relief, it is like therapy to drive the car again. Thanks to all who have answered my questions....

I must say...that car has a kind of evil, I mean business, look to it. Also looks like you've made some mods where they count. What size is your engine? 3 speed or 4 speed?

Are those Ford van seats by any chance?
 
318 4 speed. Yup, no way I could afford A-body buckets. I got those out of Pull-A-Part for 40 bucks.

I thought those seats looked a lot like the ones I had in an Ford van I used to drive. Mine was a '68 but I think the seats were from a "72.

If you were closer to me I might help you out with a cheap set of 1964 seats you could redo. Maybe if I head your way on vacation someday or something. I'm not quite ready to get rid of them yet anyway. Need to pick the best 2 out of the 4 I have...

Oh...I like your shifter handle too. Had a skull with red eyes that lit up for the handle on the jockey shifter on my Harley.
 
I have another quarter panel for the car, just need to find money and someone I trust enough to cut and paste.....I also have a front fender that one of the members here is going to give me, just no way or money to get it here to me....but I will drive my girl no matter what......
 
Good work, making due with what you have. I'm confused on that passenger side front fender though, could you post another picture of that side of the car?
 
I see what your seeing now in one of my original pics, the angle at which the picture is taken it looks more like a 65 valiant fender swoop..... you have great eye.....

Those look like '64 Valiant fenders to me.
