Thanks for the kind comments guys.  This was in pretty good condition when I got it and didn't need a lot of work to get it finished.  I'm always looking for the original issue of these cars because of the parts that are in the kit and the reissues are missing most of what is needed to build them.  I have used most of the parts from the 64 Impala to build the reissued 63's because they share the same parts like the firewall, chassis and engine.  Also, on the 63 I drilled out the tail lights and inserted resin ones that I made.  I might build Junior Johnson's 63 NASCAR if I can find another 63 original kit to start with.

Great job Dan, those '63's were huge cars for Drag Racing.

Thanks Mike.  Yep, and my first car after I came home from the Army in 1970.
