Look's great Bob , Now you have to be careful not to scratch when assembling !!!!!
Really nice Bob........
Well done, Bob. Won't it be nice to get this chore behind you?
Another installment:
Was a good day in Impala land.
Hot as hell but I got the trunk spatter painted and the new mats laid out. (some settling to occur) Gave the engine and forward parts a sponge bath to remove some sanding dust. (I wish engines would stay looking this good!)

Got the sound deadner installed in the interior. I also installed those shiny quarter windows that Phil had done for me. (installing those was a bit tricky, thank goodness for the shop manual) I even wet sanded a quarter panel so will do some buffing tomorrow to see the final results.
As soon as the quarters and roof are buffed out, I will move this around to the front garage. It's a lot cooler in the main garage as it's insulated.

Looking great, Bob !!!!! Outstanding !!! I know it will be a great cruiser .
Awesome!!!!!!!!
Phil, I think Jason, had the same problem, in his 64 Biscayne, a couple years ago.
Sure did!!!! Throw those mats in the garbage! What paint did you use for the spatter paint?
Hmmm, I was hoping the mats wouldn't be a problem as I sprayed the trunk with gray primer/sealer first. Maybe a good coat of clear under the mats??? I want to keep them! 
I started off with some Plasti coat I had but that stuff is like water! Got some Dupli color from autozone and it worked much better. 2-1/2 cans did it. Glad I had gray primer to start or it would have taken 12 cans to cover!
Hi Bob,
Awesome Job on the 63
You might have to change your name to Bobs327 if you do too many more small blocks

Uh-oh, it sounds like I might be downgraded?
I took the mats out of my Impala because as Phil says they held in moisture and I don't know what material was used on that trunk. On my Bel Air I used a petroleam base material that does not require a clear coat like the water base Zoletone. I also chose not to use the mats but have white towels in place of the mats with no issues.Hmmm, I was hoping the mats wouldn't be a problem as I sprayed the trunk with gray primer/sealer first.
