Default Chopped 32 5 window

I was lucky enough to pick up a car that a friend bought in 1970, my plan is a traditional styled build with a SBC/electric OD 3 speed and eventually a blown nailhead when I can afford it! I’ll update as I get things done between my busy schedule!

Without doing any measuring or cypherin', From here it looks like one of them old flathead V8s would fit right in there. That'll make it go faster than I'd ever wanna go in an old jalopy anyhow.

P.M' sent to speak about HAMB.
Forgot to mention that there is indeed some interest here in any car,,, just that service from that group would be more in line with that Beauty.
