63 Lemans convt currently as it was when I bought it she has a 350/350 in it atm. Converted over to early S10 small pad fdb, 10 bolt Olds 3.42 rear end w/ leaf springs.
Done interior work this spring w 68 GTO seats & 67 his/ hers shifter w console. Installed 6x9 in kick panels, new carpet, & adied a cut down rear seat from a 62 GP that has the rear speaker grill and arm rest. Added Fatmat under carpet. Still have new wood steering wheel to install and wood grain to console. I had a spare dash painted satin black with thoughts of adding 65 GTO rallye guages w/ white faces. (So racist). Had the rear arm rests recovered. Still needs stereo.
Need some odds ends electrical work done (Rev lights, interior courtesy lights, horn, etc). Installed new H4 hi beams and new LED low beams. So bright. Had the header panel btwn radiator support & nose cone powder coated. Mine was torn where the hood latch goes thru & hood would work it's way up while driving. Ordered new black vinyl top but w/ a glass rear window.
Future...... power windows (factory correct from 63 Buick special, power antenna from 64 Olds F85, true poncho motor & A/C (I have 63 under dash controls, duct work).
