Cool.

Be sure to STAY ON the shop doing the work, lest it becomes another inmate in "Body Jail"...

Its a one car body shop, and mine is the only one. The guys that are doing it have other jobs and do this on the side as a hobby, and could be doing it as a profession if they wanted. Will post some of there work when I get a chance.

The body man wanted me to leave them on so he could get them perfectly aligned with the quarters. After that he took them off. Going with original color, aqua marlin poly. Steel wheels with dog dish caps.

Totally. 63s are just beautiful. They are on the list also after the 62s and 61s get done.
