I am planning on decoding the fender tag (still need to see if the buildsheet is in the car). Trying to decide how to go about bringing it back to a great driving car. One thought was to see if it can be converted with modern drivetrain (5.7L Hemi) and suspension. Has anyone already done this??? General thoughts? I'm told the car was a 361 auto originally...... Thanks!

This looks way cool, I can't wait to get to the end. I did notice that a company (plumfloored) had a entry that they had started selling install kits. Thanks again for the info!
