Additionally, receipts for the major components (engine, transmission, differential, etc.) or the title for a donor car would also be required.
As you are aware, we here in TX are subject to sniffer tests, depending on where you live, but vehicles registered as '60's vintage cars are exempt from sniffer tests and catylitic converter requirements. I suspect you might even be exempt from having seat belts in the car if you wanted to be that foolish!
As for insurance, I can't help you much, but what I've read from others sounds pretty consistent.
I say go for it. I'd like to see a 70 driving the streets here in the Lone Star State!
