'63 Restomod in VETTE
 

This '63 I shot was just posted to VETTE magazine's page. It has a supercharged LS7 with a C4 chassis. The owner is a really nice guy and a pleasure to work with, so I hope you guys like it. For purists, keep in mind that this car was not a good candidate for restoration.

Supercharger added after I finished the car.

I live two miles from the owner and saw it while Mike worked it up; tried to buy the body years ago (along with everybody else in town).
Over the top quality and scrumptious to look at. It causes a sensation anytime its out and about....

The owner says it will still 'hook up' even with the supercharger - hmmm....I wonder ?

I had the chance to drive it, though, honestly I didn't exactly get after it. I've driven C6 ZR1s and such, but this car made me nervous because of how incredibly nice it was (and it's a split-window).

Thanks for the build video Mike! Here is another video from the photo shoot. I shot it at the Apopka airport.

Thats a nice 63!

Yup - its been over the house a couple of times. I think Ken likes to make my other cars look bad:D

Cool car!
Is it just me or does the front clip appear to be a few shades lighter than the rest of the car? Perhaps it is just the photos. I wonder how the 67 center e brake was used without causing interference with the driveshaft, unless a 2" driveshaft was used???

Its just that Mercedes silver sheen - the paint is evenly matched and beautiful everywhere on the car....

Stunning! :thumbs:

I really like the car, shows true craftsmanship everywhere you look at. I just wish people would stop using those ubiquitous C5/6 wheels on these builds and start using something more unique. Other than the wheels the car is perfect.

Nice car! Like it!

I caught that too, thought it was my eyes the front clips looks like a different shade of silver, maybe its the light or pic, still one heck of a build...

To me it's the door(s). I see color difference in them in ever picture showing door(s) going all the way back to orginal paint.

Thats what I thought, the wheels. Its a great car I'll trade my 63 for it!!!

I knew I'd seen the paint used on this 63 do the same on another C2, a 66, makes doors look like paint was mismatched.

It's not a paint mismatch, it's the door's flat shape that causes the light to refract off it different making it look darker in pictures. You would probably not see difference looking at it in person, just in pictures.

That is all it is - you can see the same effect on my '66 Mustang...and I guarantee you THAT paint MATCHES perfectly all over when viewed in person. Looking at this picture you'd think the car had a front clip off a different vehicle. Not so, the paint is stunning and perfectly matched.

My '67 Chevelle SS in Marina blue would do the same thing in some lighting:thumbs:
