Hello, I'm kinda new to the old car scene, but i jumped off in it and bought a 67 convertible that was completely submerged during hurricane Katrina. It has a solid body, but the motor and trans both have water in them and all the interior and electrical parts are toast. I've got a decent budget to work off of and have found a guy that will put it up on a rotisserie and completely blast, paint and re-hang the steet metal. My goal is to have a car I can drive if i want, like on weekends, out to the lake etc, and maybe hit some of the local burger joint car shows and such. From the factory it had a 326, 2spd auto, power top, rear man antennae with 8 track, deluxe interior and was painted Mayfair Maize. What I'd like to hear from you guys is a discussion on the different aspects of going true to original or slightly modified. Nothing crazy, just things like a different color,(i've always liked red) maybe color match the firewall and engine compartment, adding AC, adding a rear spoiler, dropping a crate 350 in it etc. I know its tough to armchair someone elses project, but i just wnat to know what you guys think.
