My Old '63 Chevy II Gets a Facelift !!!

[Monster]

I sold my 1963 Chevy II Nova SS to an old High School buddy, Martin, who had been looking for a Gen 1 shoebox for the last 20-years !!!
How funny is that ?


Anyhow, here is what I sold him ... the starting point of what he had to work with.










What he's done so far ...


















He found the correct seats too ... a must have, I think.




Does this color scheme look familiar to anybody ?






... and finally, the shoes he's gonna run with first.




What do you all think about it so far ?

I don't think you coulda sold it to a better person Steve .... want pics of it done now!

I agree Dan, not only did I hook a brother up, but I also get to watch it come along in his shop and can help out whenever I want to. He's also given me the opportunity to put my foot into it after it's done (although I'll let him wear his grin for a week, before I ask for the wheel).
