OK, I have been asking questions for over a year on my frame off project and everyone deserves an update. Fired her up this weekend, bled the brakes, mounted the doors, hood and light buckets. Backed her out of the garage for the first time and took these pics. Engine compartment is complete. the interior is almost there. here you go guys. Thanks for your help in so many ways. This forum is just fantastic!

 

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.

 

SWEET.. Good for you.. Hope you get enjoy her soon..

 

Looking good!

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

I'm partial to that color.

It's a real knockout with great color combination. Enjoy!

 

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.
