Sorry to hear about your son.....and I know what you mean about the heat setting in. I'm not very far from you in nice and humid Pasadena. Also, you look familiar....maybe we talked at the Mopar show at the track in Baytown? I go by DJ. Your 63 is looking good! I have a 66 2dr post....well had 2 of them and had a 67 Dodge Coronet 4dr that I was thinking about converting but had just too many irons in the fire. The 67 was solid through and through but I gave it to my nephew to convert over and sold the other 66. It was pretty rusty.

Respect! Someone should give you a Hilborn-injected Hemi for free for all the work you've done!!

Can't agree more with Marcel...I'll add a 18 spline A833 to that. Makes me really jealous that i'm not a metalwizard...

Poly, Ive been quietly following along here with your project. The amount of work and the knowledge you have to do all this is amazing to say the least. You are going to have quite the ride when done.. Good luck with it but i don't think you'll need it from what ive seen!

updates

got the captured nuts in frame made a fixture to mount shock towers

 

[poly1963]

update

shock towers in place and removed torsion bar sockets for relocation

 

[poly1963]

updates

got my torsion sockets mocked up. the longer bars have to be resized to fit the sockets they seem to be larger than b body ones . front fenders are gonna be a little tricky
