Re: Intro and Some Photos of my '63 Project
Thanks! I got the bed wood and strips cut to size to mock up the center before pulling the bed from the chassis again:

Re: Intro and Some Photos of my '63 Project
My powder coater said that he could match my paint color for a few smaller items. So, I handed him parts of my Chassisworks dual 15 lbs. nitrous bottle bracket:

Re: Intro and Some Photos of my '63 Project
When there's a heatwave in my area, for some reason my parts are ready for paint and body work...ugh. Finished my little dash extension for the A/C vents and a couple of other items to be named later...

Re: Intro and Some Photos of my '63 Project
Thanks! I mocked up my old Chevrolet Deluxe tissue dispenser...I had thought of selling it over the years, but I think I'll keep it for the truck...

Re: Intro and Some Photos of my '63 Project
Thanks! I had to shift focus on my '63 Tempest convertible project since I got the Pontiac Trophy 4 (half a 389) 195 ci machining done, a cam from Bullet Racing delivered, and some goodies from Crower.

Re: Intro and Some Photos of my '63 Project
The storms and heavy rain have me working on the C10 this weekend. I was able to set the wing window and door glass and get the Nu Relics power unit installed and tested.

Passenger side glass set after struggling for a couple of hours with the vent assembly.

Re: Intro and Some Photos of my '63 Project
Hey, I have a quick question for you.
I'm building a new chassis for my prostreet and I'm wondering if you had ever thought of, or tried using A body motor perch brackets and mounts to set a pontiac into a C10. Any thoughts?

Re: Intro and Some Photos of my '63 Project
That would offer more flexibility and parts availability. If I were building a new chassis, I would probably go that route if I didn't mount the engine on plates.

Re: Intro and Some Photos of my '63 Project
I'm trying to get the motor as low and as far back as possible.
Mocked up on a bare frame, it looks like A body headers will work too. Might be tight. I'll be checking that this weekend, hopefully

Re: Intro and Some Photos of my '63 Project
Yep, that's what I was referring to about parts availability. A lot of times people change up or do custom mounts not realizing that it sometimes eliminates the use of readily available production headers/exhaust, steering parts, etc.
