What tranny and rear are you running? Perfect look on the rear wheel/tire. That's how I like the tire to fit the rear wheel on a drag car. What size wheel/tire did you go with?

I got FORD 9" with coil overs and ladder bars 373 gears. 275/50/15 tires. stock wheel wells. 12.34 @ 112mph stock class so far. Have a 67 GTO like I had in my younger day. But the 63 tempest is [MY BABY} thm 400 trans

If you have more pictures - especially of the underhood and chassis setup, you should post 'em.

I have 2 gilles for my 62, both are far from being show quality. I am going to try to get most of the dents out of the worst one and try a red-out front on my car.

Looks old school that way... smooth!

I had some time on my hands, so I found my old grille in the "why am I keeping this pile". Used my body hammer and steel, alittle body filler and matching red paint and DaDaa! What do you guys think, new red or old stock chrome one?

[JKrull66]

Ok, heres a couple new ones from last week at the races. Some more in the race section.

Jay - I think the red looks good.

[jusjay]

Thanks TempestFugit, the other grille is in much better condition and fits better. The red grille, from 5 feet looks good (OK) but any closer you can see the all the dents and bents. I have been planning to do a repaint in the near future and will most likely have the grille painted then.

Jay I personaly like the chrome on these cars. Maybe instead of the blacked out areas those could be red? Or maybe just leave the 4 grill sections chrome? This is jmo as this is your car and you are free to do anything you want to it. Well unless you start talking a Chevy under the hood. Pat

[jusjay]

68Prix, I too like the chrome on the front. I just think it is too much chrome. I really like the looks of the 61 Tempest front, I have even look into putting a 61 front clip on it. Not too worry about a chevy under the hood. What i would like to do is copy MT 62 SS/D Tempest (tri-power 4cly 3 speed) ran low 13's in 62.

Greg, the car looks great. Did you put the 4spd in it?

[cleveweld]

I recently installed a NOS 3-spd. transmission in my car and now I have the differential out and apart for a rebiuld. I wish it were a 4-spd! Greg
