since you already used the frame from the '60 Starliner do you have the engine as well? Really nice-looking FE big block if that is a consideration for power.
Might look at the Round 2 issue of the old AMT '60 Ford Starliner. Has a couple of carburation choices as well as nice factory hi-flow cast iron exhaust manifolds.
One sad looking old car, and I mean that in the best way. This is why many states require annual vehicle inspections or should. Like the snow tires on the back.
