Default Started out as a tranny service but

Wound up rebuilding the whole PG, rear main seal on engine, new brakes, full exhaust, rear spring, 4 shocks, u- joints front and rear, battery cables, valve cover gaskets, and lots of other incidentals at the same time. Can't wait till it's done. Most work done on this car at once ever.

Classic "project creep"! Did you do the hoses? It's good to do and now your confidence level is really up so you can, "drive the miles and get the smiles". Dennis

My wife has had her 63 coupe for 33 years and has done regular maintenance on it. The big stuff though has remained mostly untouched until now. It only has 46000 miles on it and I know when it sits things start to deteriorate too. She is just worried about changing too much on the car. Hoping to get it to Carlisle this year.
Should ride like a new car, no?

Very nice "63. Look for and register with the '63-'67 Stingray Registry when you get to Carlisle. Dennis
