Thank you Kiwi
Here is the recent progress "we" have made on the 1963 being restored...
Body panels are actually straighter than Factory...(How can I tell?, I have an untouched 4-door in my ownership)

Hood scoop is mounted for "fit"
Made by the Ten Man out of Michigan back in 2005...metal scoop.

PS: that rusty front panel above where the bumper goes...I just located that piece from a salvage yard
Its just in place to "Align" the fenders/hood

Looks like you got some decent wheels with it.

Someone will want that body after you're done with it. Post cars are getting harder to find.

Is the rear bumper as good as the front?

I really don't know how you've kept it togther with all the setbacks, been in a body shop since 2006??? That's ridiculous! Great to see it moving foward now, I'm sure having it on the road will be huge fun especially being retired now. Good luck Ski, I'd say it's long overdue.
