    Any modification that would have been done to a race car from the mid 60's to 1970.

    For me that's what the 64 is for, have most of those Mods other than the bubble windows. The 69 and Duanes van will stay mostly stock

    Wow , thats a big question ! Think I would do anything that makes it more comfortable and fun to drive. Body Mods ,, I personally cringe at cutting up something that would be in "pristine condition" . Kinda why I like the rough stuff a little better ,, ya arent wrecking anything. Mechanical,,, No Holds Barred there. Interior,, anything thats fun for you to do !
    Vanish, I'm sure I haven't seen all the pics , but have you ever done a 4x4 that wasn't a High Roller ? more like a AWD regular rig ? And have you ever thought about it ?

    If I had an extra van - id like to drop the body on an early indy car chassis. I saw a 50 ford PU years back pass me in northern new maxico on a trip- was running 75mph on my harley. passed me like I was sittin still- had a high rpm scream as it went by me . I followed it a while -at a distance & saw him turn into a very beautiful Ranch & park it in a red barn. I stiooped @ the mail box by entrance and liked to fell off the bike when i read on the box= Al Unser!! Wonder what he had under that old ford pickup body?? affraid
