Welcome to C.O.
There are quite a few guys here who are big 65 fans. You'll get to know them over time. BTW, there's also a great reference site you might want to flag called 442bro.com that has a lot of good info there.

Please post pics of your car..we love pics.

Also, when you start your build post your progress in a new build thread for us to follow. Your camera will be your best friend when you start taking somethings apart. Document EVERYTHING. Also when you pull stuff apart, put all the little pieces into baggies and LABEL everything. Then put it some place where you'll remember it!

Good luck with the project!

Welcome to the forum. Like TK sez, none had 425's - he just left out the cordial greeting part.
Love those '65s.
