1963 Tempest hot rod fabrication

Here is a photo collection of my 1963 Tempest "hot rod" project.

blown 455 + .030". Forged pistons and Dyers supercharger.
Going in the Hot Rod Tempest summer 2015.

Custom upholstery stitched to look like the tri tone interiors of 1963.

Interior is almost complete.

Changed the AFB carbs out for 450 cfm Holleys. Runs much better.

The project "Hot Rod" Tempest finally hit the road before being put away for winter.

3" exhaust sounds really good with the turbo mufflers.

headliner from Ames Perf. is installed, but needs the trim.

P215r/70 tires rub the front fender lip when turning.

A lot of detail work left...but no paint!

Took the car out of the trailer and drove ot around the driveway. It needs a front alignment before hitting the road.

The 3 tube headers fit the 400ci in the '63 frame like a glove.

Completed Fat Mat install.

Dual quads mocked up.

Plenty of space for the headers around the steering column.

3 tube headers fit without any mods.

Old interior waiting for new, custom covers.

Putting in heat/sound control mat.

Red top over white body.

looking more like a car!

4" wide vintage Cragar SS wheels on the front. They clear the Scarbird disk brake sonversion.

floor pan painted.

Finally setting on the new suspension.

View of ladder bar and clean floor pan.

Rear end in place.

Centered via pan hard bar.
