    i really like it!!!

    agree with "junior" to raise the rear - prior to doing much to the front.

    jacks to raise one or both are your friend, before it becomes permanent.

      A Wagonaire would make sense. The windshield does look higher - Wagonaire windshields and windows are taller than 4 doors.

        I have seen similar with the Ford Ranchero. Someone adapted the Mercury Comet front sheetmetal to create a car that was never manufactured. It was likely a straight bolt-on.

        The Phantom kind of reminds me of the '68 era Chevy truck (especially with the '66 front end) with a side step bed. I always appreciate someones willingness be creative with existing parts.

            64-66 Wagonaires & 64 convertibles used the same windshield as used on all Larks in 63. You will notice that the 2 & 4 door sedans from 64 on did not have a drip rail above the windshield while the wagonaire did.
