'63 Grand Prix Project

[Mr. White]

Will be a great ride. Not familiar with this model but as well as the front end with stacked lights the rear is really cool too. Great rear section of the roof and rear window and also really like the tail panel and small fins. Also love the original rear view mirror! I'd be keeping that if I were you.



Excellent job so far. The trans cross member looks awesome.

Godbolt, yes the Grand Prix has some nice classic lines, the concave rear glass was new for the 63 models as well, the fender mounted mirror is definitely staying. Not sure if you noticed but the two headlights on the drivers side both have covers over the top of them. I'm guessing they were there to keep the lights out of the eyes of on coming traffic, little piece of 1963 courtesy. The cross-member is just a weld up universal one from summit, thanks.

I really love your mustang. The widebody is pretty sweet, couldn't imagine taking on a task of that magnitude, little alone make it look factory. I've always loved the lines of a mustang. My wife's family own a Mustang restoration business called Mustang Corral. So I'm sure I will own one eventually.

Very impressed with your work. I wish my skills on welding & fab were up to that level. I have always liked pontiacs, very nice build.

Thanks Z06, Your skills will improve with practice, the whole point of this build for me is practice. I've never done sheet metal work before.

Found a picture of my friends 63...



This was a couple years back when he stopped by my shop with his now ex-wife for a quick visit... Interior still needed to be done at this point.... Rest of the car is stock..

Interesting that your car has the headlight half covers on one side... Of all the half covers I have seen they have always been on both sides of the car... My buddies car does not have any on it..
