The Kato Thread, 1963 Chevy II 4 Door

[Sharps40]

I'll move Kato over here as suggested...

I don't know what Green Hornet drove but it was black and had machine guns and rocket launchers and his Driver and Sidekick Kato (Bruce Lee) musta drove something like this. Either that or this used to be some sort of South Of the Border Fun ride.

But....here we go....





Real good glass all around....better than the paint.





Now this one has very cool custom paint touches....Chevy Emblems in alternating Silver and Green front and rear!



The wheels ain't the best looks or fit.



Laquer don't work well over enamel....



Grill looks great.



This one has a rear view mirror inside and out!



Most of this is just bad paint...it is still pretty solid.



A roomy low slung front seat.



And, a real back seat!



A trunk big enough for coolers fulla deer.



This is either a 194 or a 230...I'm bettin its a 194



Front shock towers are in fine shape...no rot.



The accessory pack includes a spiffy new Hurst 3 speed floor shifter!



The trip home on the roll back shook loose the junk in the tank and it started leaking. I managed to put my finger thru the thin spot so, caught mosta the gas in a bucket and pulled the tank out for safety. Cleaned up and thankfull, the trunk is in near perfect shape...a shot from the underside with the fuel tank removed.



Time to start tinkering...put on the new fuel pump that was in the back seat and see if the free spinning motor will start from a can of gas. Starter is great, spins like an airplane and most of the electrical works (all but L turns.) Even the factory original AM radio in the dash still works!
