Re: Picked Up my Project!!!
For posting pics, you can got to the "Go Advanced"tab under the reply dialog box and then manage attachments, or you can copy and paste from a service like Photobucket or Flickr, etc…
Good luck and have fun with that 63

Plans are many lol still havent decided what route to take. One things for sure is, Im going to 3 on the floor or a 4 speed trans lol Engine-wise, probably rebuild the stock engine, with true dual set ups for a beefier sound. Lower it a bit and keep it clean. Ill be doing the wood bed all by hand and self done. Its for me and my son to have fun with. I look forward to sharing with you all the journey ahead. |

Re: Picked Up my Project!!!
Don't be in a rush...I just collect the parts I need to do the restoration when I'm not focused yet. That way the journey has begun and when you dive in you have the things you will need to start....

Re: Picked Up my Project!!!
63 is a great year, first year of coil front end but still a knee knocker, and hands down one of the most handsome one-year-only grilles
good luck!

Re: Picked Up my Project!!!
Patch panels is all I have seen also...you will have to fab other areas...not fun but you will do better than how most of the patch panel usually fit if they were offered.

Re: Picked Up my Project!!!
That rust in the cowl, you may be able to find the piece you need from a donor cab.
