Re: Project '64 Cheapskate

Awesome build. I just read the whole thing!

I like your methods... mixing a little newer technology when it is cost effective and a genuine improvement while retaining the style of the 60's whenever possible.

When my best friend and I go to car shows we look at everything and then tell each other which car we liked the best. It is usually something very subtle that doesn't have a crowd around it. The car that just looks put together right... brake lines, wiring, etc done with a simplistic flow that shows the builder gave it some thought before they picked up a tool.

We both made our living in the race industry(until recently for me) where form follows function. Maybe that is why we appreciate the low gimmick/high functionality style? I imagine your line of work has the same effect?

Even with the patina and patches I am sure I would be staring at your truck for quite a while if I saw it in person.
