Hi All,
I figured I would introduce myself, my name is Colin and I am restoring a 1964 Chevelle Malibu. The plan is when it is done to take it on a roughly 11000 mile road trip across Canada to Alaska and then back through the upper us states. I will create a build thread shortly for all the progress.

Plans are pretty mild, only a few parts left to buy right now.
Engine: 350 from an 86 suburban. Roller cam, Roller tiped Rockers, Edelbrok intake mani & Carb
Transmission: TCI 200R4

Suspension: UMI Stage 2 kit 1" Lower
Steering: JGC Box, all new pro forged links
Electrical: Dakota Digital VHX Dash, AAW Highway 22 rewire kit
Brakes: CPP Front/rear disk brake conversion W/ New lines
Seats: 2010 Chevy Camaro Front Seats
Vintage Air A/C

I still need a new fuel tank, debating on getting one with an intake pump for when I plan to go EFI. Need a drive shaft, and a whole lot of welding. Was a northeast car its whole life so much rust.
I'll try and copy over my build progress thread in a bit.
