  • My Old '63 Chevy II Gets a Facelift !!!

    I sold my 1963 Chevy II Nova SS to an old High School buddy, Martin, who had been looking for a Gen 1 shoebox for the last 20-years !!!
    How funny is that ?


    Anyhow, here is what I sold him ... the starting point of what he had to work with.










    What he's done so far ...


















    He found the correct seats too ... a must have, I think.




    Does this color scheme look familiar to anybody ?






    ... and finally, the shoes he's gonna run with first.




    What do you all think about it so far ?

      I agree Dan, not only did I hook a brother up, but I also get to watch it come along in his shop and can help out whenever I want to. He's also given me the opportunity to put my foot into it after it's done (although I'll let him wear his grin for a week, before I ask for the wheel).

                      Nice to see someone appreciated what you had, and is re-creating it for himself. THANK YOU for sharing this. Great...

                        ... and the engine compartment with the sparkling new aluminum radiator and twin puller fans. Starting to look closer to being finished.
