Year: 1963
Model: 400 Series 2 door hardtop
Body/Exterior: As detailed in a variety of threads, just about the only factory sheet metal left on the car is the roof and the deck lid. I replaced the rusted cowl sides and front passenger floor pan and toe board. I had aftermarket full quarters done, replaced the doors and the fenders with originals, and the hood with a Goodmark cowl hood. Had it painted black base/clear. I'm keeping the original hood and deck lid diecast, and putting on the 62 SS fender c-moldings.
Engine: The engine is built and bagged, and sitting at my cousin's shop in Oklahoma, waiting for me to pick up. It's a 355 with aluminum heads, air gap intake, and Demon 650 carb. Stewart Stage 2 water pump, Canton oil pan, blueprinted oil pump.
Front End: 5 lug conversion, front disc brakes from donor parts, CPP lower arm kit, Addco 1" sway bar, new shocks, new springs, roller spring perches, idler bearing conversion.
Transmission: 200-4r
Rear End:Global West subframe connectors, 8.2" 10 bolt, rebuilt with Eaton Posi and 3.73 gears, Moser axles.
Exhaust: Doug's D-367Y headers, Pypes X-pipe 2.5" exhaust kit
Wheels/Tires: Currently 10-hole 'Mod O' steel wheels by Pete Paulsen, 15 x 7, 4 5/8" backspace. 195R-15s front, 215R-15 rear. I have no idea what I will end up with. Deciding on wheels is a nightmare.
Interior: Not in yet
Electrical: American Autowire Highway 22 kit. Plan on headlight relays, battery in trunk, power windows and door locks.
Accessories/Options: Plan on Vintage Air A/C.
Sound system: Not a huge priority, but most likely a basic head unit with MP3 capability.
Comments: Aside from the bodywork, most of the above is not done, but I have almost all of the parts. If I'm lucky, I might get it back on the road this year!
