This Wiki comes from a Tech session I was volunteered for at the 2010 Great Plains Roundup in Tulsa. The original intent of the presentation was to provide some visual guidance (lots of pictures) to those trying to make their car at least look original.
I believe a lot cars ending up with a grab bang of different years parts is not deliberate. It's out ignorance of what the car came with. There just isn't anything out there that does a very good job telling what it should have and more importantly has pictures to actually show you!

The layout is based on the 1961 Shop Manual.

This is not complete and may have errors. There are a few things here that I haven't seen written anywhere (not that I have read everything).
This is a work in progress!!!
