buying this weekend.
Will be restoring it ( nothing like frame off )
Not looking to be cruising in a few months.
Have a few questions on where to start.
The engine and trans need to be pulled, both windows need work, floor pans and a little quarter panel repair. I have 75% of the interior.
So I don’t work in reverse...

Where to start?

I’m pretty mechanically knowledgeable

I hope it is a typo but that car is not a 64. I believe it is a 65.

Start by taking it down to the bare frame do not forget to bag and tag every piece nut screw and bolt
Onc you have the frame on stands you will have a good idea what to do.
Hint sandblast the frame and then you are of to the races
Have fun enjoy your self be patient
