It was hanging upside down but it's fixed now!

And I agree with Kevin, it looks pretty good!

Thanks for fixing my picture screw up. It is a good solid Canadian car just needs to be freshened up and modernized a little with power steering and power brakes.

 Are you doing the conversion yourself? I'm asking because you need to allow a week (5 days).  2 days to do the work, 3 days of running around looking for little parts that don't come in the conversion kits! A friend and I did new front springs, power steering and power disc brakes on his 60 Parisienne a few months ago. Fun job!

 Excellent because as much fun as we had doing the swap it sure was frustrating trying to find brake line fittings etc.

Whose parts are you using for the swap?

 Using 605 steering box with an adapter bracket. Using mid 70's Chevelle rotors and calipers with original spindles and 60 chev conversion brackets for mounting the calipers.

And you likely don't care but on those you can't use 14" original type wheels?
