And another is where should I start a build log? The HAMB kicked me out because my 46yo car isn't classic enough, lol.

Thanks in advance.

Congrats on such a great purchase! I wouldn't mind a '67 big car in my stable either.

Yes the Bonne will have a lot of interchangeable parts, likely all of the suspension, but the Bonne's are physically longer cars. I believe the majority of the differences are body related there. Perhaps a '68 Cat would have the same mechanicals as your '67 Cat. They should be essentially identical, but that also likely means they are equally supported on the aftermarket. Hopefully others who are more knowledgeable will chime in here.

As for a build log, I think you're in the right place here. Don't worry about the HAMB board for this beauty.

Congrats again!
