All 1961 - 1964 full size cars with removable front subframe should also be included, such as early 60's Chrysler Newport, NYer, & 300 or Dodge 880.
Although the frames are shaped differently, all of the tips which apply to the 65-73 true Y frame cars still apply to the 61-64 subframe cars. Do not confuse this with the 60's era smaller cars that have a non-removeable pinch frame

All of the above is the first post in each individual body type's build thread, only thing that is missing here is the disclaimer that the above info I am confident about but not 100% confident. There is more than one example of weirdness in the model names and platforms through the years so please speak up if any of that requires a correction.
Yeah, with the 60s cars. When I coped and pasted idk why but my computer did something funky and it come up. So I just posted away
