Most all the mechanicals are done, and it's driving, so started buffing out what paint is still there.
Some before and afters.

Then theres my favorite of my 3 1963 Plymouths--This is a modern 426 Max Wedge with Aluminum heads and a TKO-600 5-speed manual trans with 36% overdrive in 5th gear and a 384 gear in 1st--it gets mid 20s fuel milage and at 80 mph its only turning 2000 rpm--@ 2200 its cruiseing @ 100 mph--stop light bashing is beyond amazing--
