I personally like those wheels and was planning to buy them for my LeMans. Not everybody likes the same as you.

Thanks GT
I think having that stroker in there with dual quads will really make the car!

This is my 63 LeMans convertible 4cyl, 4Barrel Auto Purchased at Back To The 50's this summer. Brought it home and immediately started to take it apart.

What I miss is that blue 63 LeMans drop top I SHOULD have bought from you.

It went to AZ and then traded hands again.It has been on ebay a time or two.I was OK but not in my top 3 63 cars.The new convert seem much quieter(may hearing loss as I get older)and for sure rides better.It was my favorite color though.Tom

The last time I saw it you had it at the Belmont Shores car show. It had a for sale sign on it and it was more than 20 years ago. I'm thinking 25 years ago +-. It was the day Greg Minor came down from San Diego with a blue 62 Catalina convertible for sale.

Here’s a before and after, making progress
Running a small hot rod heater to clean up firewall and so the heater box and plenum don’t take away from the motor when it’s in

You will see more of this later. Just a tease for now...

Does anyone have an underhood shot of a '63 with a V8 and a/c?

[tom s]

I would not run them either.Tom

Here are my convo pro's I ended up with. Don't know if they are disco era or crack era design or maybe coke era.

Interesting thing happened ... I was searching the web looking for info/pictures of the connection bolts for a 63 power brake booster brackets .... as I now need to switch from Vacuum Assist Power brakes (my current setup is a 63 system upgraded with better booster and dual MC) to a hydro boost due ow engine vacuum ... even with an electric vacuum pump.

I in the google search search window pops up a picture of my car? ... clicked on it to find Butler did a customer feature for their website & I didn't know about it!

Pretty cool to find... almost famous :-) On the same page as Big Chief, Farm Bird and Mike Cooper, etc! https://butlerperformance.com/g-21158-cars.html

try hydro boost for early 80's diesel grand prix can take pictures if needed Norm

[xlrate]

thanks for the tip ... just wish finding a early 80s diesel Pontiac around here would be easy!

[CONCRETEHART]

sorry did not mean to be specific but any GM car or pickup with diesel and power brakes should work but only one I have is the GP. Norm
