Very cool old pictures. It looks like Gramps was really proud of the car. But before you start chopping it up, read other young peoples threads first and see if that's the direction you want to take with the car, especially as original as it is. Personally, I'm all about originality, and your car would clobber it at car shows due to it's originality and nice condition, but do whatever you think makes you happy...
Thank ya, he was really proud of it so I’m having a hard time making a decision with that. I’ve been leaning towards just leaving it alone and putting some bigger tires on it and maybe pulling the slant 6 and getting fresh seals and paint.
