After I got this thing home, I had to put a tarp over it to keep the rain out (why?) and it sat there, while I got catalogs, found web pages, discovered web sites about 63's and Chevy's in general, and hit Ebay and bought parts.

JoAnne and I originally picked metallic gray as the color for the car. We planned a black interior, but that changed as you will see. It would be a sleeper, a real plain jane, with all that motor under the hood. Then 4 years later as I get ready to actually have the paint applied, I realize that this color does not go well with the interior, so I changed it to GM Dark Cherry Metallic, very similar to a factory 63 color (Palomar Red Metallic). I can buy Duplicolor spray bombs in this color so I can do touch ups down the road with no problem.
