      63 Biscayne

      I finally have a new project; a pretty much stock 1963 Biscayne. It needs a bit of work to include major upgrades to the suspension. As this was originally a six cylinder car, it doesn't even have a front sway bar.



      I don't have a bunch of money to drop into it at once and I want to progressively build the car, to include the suspension. Eventually I plan on pulling out the 454 and putting an LS engine in it but, that will be a bit down the road.

      Beautiful ride man. Don't see too many landyachts on here. They can be done right though. Check out Brian Fuller's "Impaler". Good inspiration for your project. Car looks nice!!

      That's a tough one there. I can see it just as it is with a beefy 409 between the fenders, but it sure would make a sweet pro-touring inspired cruiser too. Looking forward to more!

      The first thing this needs is some kind of sway bar for the front, it currently doesn't have one, one for the rear and a front suspension rebuild. Next step are new floors.

      Final plans are pro-touring and there are a lot of good ideas out there for what people have done with theirs. Big debate is whether or not to put a sub-frame in it, go ride tech or just coil overs and upgrade the stock stuff.
