I was thinking about replacing the neck on my 2005 Mexi strat with a 60's style neck.
Anyone know if this is feasible? If so, what should I watch out for...any tips/tricks, etc...?
define 60's style.

Anything is feasible, depending on how much money you have :)
But MIM strat parts are easily swapped out with MIA parts.

Bolt holes lining up. Width of the neck where it meets the body. Depth of the neck slot where the neck meets the body. Shape of the neck where it meets the body (Round vs. Square). Will there be any gaps or any need of routing the body due to the neck and body dimensions where the neck meets the body. These are just a few thoughts.
It is a small world for metal fanatics. I welcome you fellow musicians, especially the metalheads!
Really if you go with a modern post-production replacement neck, you'll be fine.
If you are trying to work with a vintage neck from a '60s strat, then I'd be very concerned about being able to make it fit.
