Re: PATINA 63 stepside project
I plan on keeping the original paint
I have a cpp grand slam kit for it with a 6 lug disc brake front end
It seems to have a later 250 inline 6 that i will rebuild

Re: PATINA 63 stepside project
Try to load up with any parts that you think you may need later.
I am sure it is easier to buy here and you are already shipping.
Looks like a decent start.

Re: PATINA 63 stepside project
Cheap and simple, give her the mascara treatment on the headlight bezels. Only 63 painted grills had this detail.
