It needs alot the more I look at it , but im not scared:no: Its a 1963 ss hard top . with a curry ford nine ' , disc up front , fenderwell headers. offset spring hangers , needs motor trans every piece of sheet metal so if any one has extra parts for a 63 pm me if your interested in selling some parts maybe we can work some thing out . I would list everything I need but It would be easyer to say everything but has no grill light bezals bumpers , needs fenders trunk lid .

Im not a 100% sure on the motor yet . a buddy of mine gave me a turbo 350 it needs a converter .The tranny has been laying around for years so we will see if its any good . the motor I was thinking about pulling the 388 out of my truck . but then that wouldnt run . just the way work is right now , I dont know which way to go . I just want to do some low budget drag racing and do some up grading later when I can afford to do so . the body is hammerd the more i look at it . but all that can be fixed with a little time . i will try to learn how to up load some pics . it took me 2 weeks to learn how to get register on the site so Im sure it will only take about 6 months to load some pics

So your thinking small block? So what kind of numbers you want to run? On a budget you got to go NOS! Gearing , subframe , tires and traction are your big issues. Cage if your going to go fast enough!!! We got Ryans t-350 if yours doesnt work!:yes:

small block for sure , its got hooker super comp fenderwell headers. I would like to do some where in the mid 12s . to start then put a little nos unit on it . then when i can afford it put a cage in it :yes: I think it would be cool to make the best of both worlds and still be able to drive it on the street . And be able to take it to the track . the car allready has offset spring hangers with a m/t drag tire it should hook up . we will see talk to you soon dave

93 or 94 chevy p-up. truck ran great! Its a throttle body motor so you could just convert to carb and distributor. He works nights so ill leave him a message. It has the 700r4 also and the computor is still all hooked up with the complete wiring harness. It might even start up!!! Ive allways thought of useing it for a project!

Steve,

There is a guy here who is parting some 63 Novas, if interested I might be able to take a look at some items for you, take some pics, whatever. If interested in some smaller items, I can bring them out with me in June as long as they'll fit in the back of the minivan

It doesn't look all that bad, even if the pictures look like they were taken with a cell phone I've seen alot worse trust me....I'll inquire about the 63 parts...anything in particular? i.e. parts you'll need right away?

not nearly as bad as i was expecting there Steve.
that's a unique spot to mount the shifter though.
