New member here inspired by Vetterodder's post on his '64 restomod Vette convert project. My '63 Vette convert project will move along MUCH SLOWER than his by a long shot. Based on finances, time available to work on it and starting with a partial vette in rough shape. My wife and I purchased this car in 1990 while living in Minnesota. Titled vette just sitting in a farmer’s field since the early ‘80s. I was in the middle of a seven year major custom on my ’80 vette which was completed in ’95. We moved to Livermore, CA in ’96 and drug the ’63 along. Then moving back to the midwest in ’99 after picking up a CA ’67 SS Chevy II. Very busy raising kids, starting a business and very involved in our Baptist church has kept me away from starting this long-awaited project. I played with tweaking my '67 SS over the years. We also enjoyed boating in the Ozarks with our family. Began to wonder if my own kids truly understood how hard it was to side-line my ‘hard-core-car-guy-plans’ all these years. No regrets. God has blessed me with a great wife and kids. Next year, we will have both kids off to college and the in-laws moved close by, so time to get kicking!
