This fellow, aka HOT ROD HOARDER, makes great videos and is one of the best storytelling historians of this era I’ve come across. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZi35PHgM2s

Interesting that it seems to have always had a '64 front clip. Did they start with a crashed '65 and put the '64 clip on to race ?

It’s in the video-No ‘65 race fiberglass front ends available when initially built. Amazingly it never crashed enough to warrant replacement later.

As stated in the video, B pillars were cut out when the new purpose built chassis was put in and the body truly became just a covering.
