That looks great

I like how you left the patina in the engine compartment surrounding the nicely painted engine. The same with the bed floor.

Thanks for compliments Captainfab. She's a driver and is going to get used so I didn't want to get carried away with nice paint and bling. Oh wait, I do have a chrome valve cover to put on yet. Also thanks for the adapter plates they worked great.

What a great looking truck!!! You did all the right stuff, made it sit right and drive right!! Really like the black wheels and thin whites. If I were your teacher you'd get an A+

Re: Finally got my '63 on the road. (with pics)

Your truck is awsome. My first test drive after my motor swap was a 2+ hour trip to my favorite car show the jalopy showdown finished at 6am left at 630 lol I made it but prob wasent the best idea. Never paint that truck!
