I'd replace that clutch pedal rubber...looks a little shabby.
Just kidding.
Great pictures and a sweet looking 63 SWC. That's a really nice color you got there. Thanks for the update.

Super job on the headlight doors and hood alignment with the top surround!

Thanks Guy's, That is the original color that matches the trim tag and the overspray from the factory. Stripped three paint jobs off her
One of the repaints never removed the molding and it must be refinished from sanding marks..$$$$$$$$ like everything else.

I, too, must chime in on the hood and headlight door alignment - fantastic!
Did you do your own bodywork? If so, take a bow! If not, who did?
Cheers!
