Thanks, the white takes a little wiping down now and then to keep it looking that way. Yours looks great as well. I really like the turquoise block sitting in that nice fresh turquoise engine bay.

Engine bay

Nice job. What wiring harness did you get? Year One has a listing for 1964 but I don't know it it will fit a 63 Sportfury.

 

[HitIt]

Are you looking for the engine harness or the headlight harness for your 63? There is a seller on eBay by the name of HemiEddy who sells the engine harness that you see in my pics... should be fine for your 63.

The headlight harness is not reproduced so if that's what you need, you'll have to get a used one. My advice would be to get one from your year and model, as the headlight and turn signal lamp connectors varied from year to year and Dodge to Plymouth.

I remember when mine was that clean. But then again it runs now so it's not all bad

Good work redpolara.
