The engine (1965) and transmission are not matching numbers. I am going to need to work on the front right breaks as it pulls to the right.

I was surprised when I looked inside the front tire well and there is nothing that protects the underside of the painted fiberglass from rocks. I can see the back side of the headlights when I look around the front tire. Is that right or is the car missing the front wheel wells or something?

There are no inner fender panels. That is the reason that the fenders are susceptible to having "Stars" in the paint on top from rocks being thrown up by the tires. This is true for the rear also.
