Re: My new 1963 SWB 5.3 Vortec Pickup
Nice score!!
Oh, and you may want to add "new tag brackets" to your to-do list ![]() That's some of the coolest video editing I've ever seen on that YouTube video. Who did that, Fabian?

Re: My new 1963 SWB 5.3 Vortec Pickup
Hey.... that speedo makes it look like you're parked on the autobahn! Ha. Great pics, thanks for posting. Really like the new wheel tire combo - black rims n skinny whites look nice. As for the steerin wheel upside down - I personally couldn't do that becuase I'd be afraid I'd be going down the road and not be able to resist the sudden urge to yank it back upright! Might put myself into a t-phone pole with that thing... Looks cool, thanks for posting the progress!

![]() Is the PCM attached to the passenger side inner fender, or is it just sitting there?

Re: My new 1963 SWB 5.3 Vortec Pickup
That is pretty cool, maybe you can start a new import export business. You export TDI Passats and I will export 60-66 chevy trucks.

Re: My new 1963 SWB 5.3 Vortec Pickup
![]() ^ nice delorean in the background. lol sorry for the slight thread-jack. also - i think it is probably the angle of the camera; but it almost looks like the engine isn't quite straight in the engine-bay? just curious!
