I went to the nats on Thursday ( gotta check the swap meet on opening day ) and then took SWMBO on saturday to actually look at the cars . She tried to talk me into buying a plasma cutter but I told her although the price was great the country of origin wasnt .

Re: 63 unibody
lil update
got the back wall seam sealed up, gunna prime it and the dash one more time and should be off to paint
steering box cleaned and painted
quick pic of the gauges... im pretty impressed with them so far!!!
been pluckin away at the accessories, belts, and radiator her lately... been slow work! lower radiator hose has been fun to say the least
there's not a ton of options out there for 460s it seems so its been junk yardin and fab'in most the way.
still have to figure out the a/c but im gettin close

Re: 63 unibody
also, did the regular cab mounts go away? i noticed the recessed hole where typical floor pans mount to the rubber mount are gone.
