Wow thats a lot of generations. My family goes back 5 and we been here on the same farm since 1800s. The Stoltzfus is very popular. We do a lot of business in the Lancaster area. Great place, Great people!

You guys sure know your way around Lancaster. Guess I am not the only one familiar with the area.

Jim How did you make out a Carlisle, And did you get your shifter boot from Hubbards? I had my guy thats doing the restoration install mine and he said it was a little small for the opening in the console. It didnt fit quit the way he would like to see it. But he is pretty fussy. But I am...

Carmine Was going to ask you how Englishtown was but you answered my question. I wanted to go but my friend was showing his car at the Steel Stacks in Bethlehem PA. and wanted to meet him. But waiting in traffic for 3/4 of an hour that was not moving soon changed my mind. Cars and people every...

Jim I checked out the prices of the 63 shifter boot today. Show Cars were $88 with no hold down ring or screws. Hubbards was $99 with the hold down ring and mounting screws. That was the reason for the different pricing. When I called Show Cars they said they only had one left in stock. I guess...

Jim I just received my shifter boot today. I was glad it came as I was getting worried that I wouldnt have one for my restoration. It came with the hold down ring and screws to fasten it. To my surprise the hold down ring was all rusty. Looked like it been used or sitting on a shelf somewhere...

If you need a shifter boot for a 63 console, I see they are available. now at Hubbards. I just ordered one and will be here Monday. They told me they hadnt been made for seven years. But I am glad to find one to finish my restoration.

Paul What a great video! I put that shifter in my 63 SS with an original looking round stick shifter. The original shifter was badly worn and kept getting stuck into two gears. Havent tried it yet, resto isnt quiet finished but looks good in the car. Wished I had seen this video before I put it...

Thanks for the reply! It clears up my confusion about the spare tire location. It sure makes sense why it was put on the side with a convertible top. I learned something new today. THANKS

Nice car.......... looks great......... yeah I saw that the 409 was on the wrong side of the flags but I didnt want to be the first to tell. Another thing I always thought that the spare tire was suppose to be located on the ledge in front of the trunk well. You have your located on the right...

Hey Rick ....I really appreciate you helping me out with the rear glass and meeting me half way. I thought that was very nice of you. Cant thank you enough. Ben

bob 409 just been thru with the same issues of a front windshield and rear glass both had deep scratches on them and finally made the decision to replace them. Some time back with in 6 mo. I saw somewhere a free windshield for a 63 chevy a guy had saved it and was cleaning up after many years...

Carmine Just read thru your threads Maybe a little late for this info but will put it out there for others. I had the same experience as you did liking the the idiots lights trying to keep to the original looks. But I felt gauges were a necessary for monitoring the engine. I went with the three...

thanks for the info. I will have to check out my assembly manual and read up on that. I kinda thought the air cleaner shud point to the right but looking at so many pics I have seen them both ways. thanks again
