'63 V8 Notchback

[v8notchman]

I bought this car and had it delivered up from Arizona. (Is it bad when you buy a car and open the trunk and find a gas can, fire extenguisher and a tow rope?) Since all I really wanted was the body, I was looking for one that was solid. Other than a little wreckage in the very front, there is very little damage to this otherwise solid car. I drove it around town for a little and it turned a lot of heads. BTW, I insisted that the color was fucia and not pink. When the headlight switch was sizzling and smoking while rolling down the highway and after it sprung a major fuel leak I decided it was time to begin the work.

Here's what the car looked like before I started taking it apart.
