63 Biscayne junior stock drag car build

[Tom Miller]

Progress has been S-L-O-W, but there has been some.
The cobble body shop that messed with this car caused me a bunch of work, rework.
This is a low budget drag car so I'm doing things ways I normally don't or wouldn't, but I keep reminding myself to keep it simple stupid!
Quarters about ready for primer.
Decklid is blocked in 320, will block out quarters and shoot them in base coat with hardener which should just about match the old lacquer that has been scuffed with 320.Picked up a used Impala fender for the passenger side,as the original wasn't worth saving, brace was gone, skin rotten, rottten in front lip, plus all the warpage where the body shop clowns welded all the trim holes shut with the welder set on KILL!
Going to let it look as though it's an old barn find drag car with some primer spots here and there.
Going to letter it up, apply some vintage racing decals here and there, and go have some fun.

Got the quarters and rockers in primer today.
Big progress....those quarters are HUGE!!!

I am possibly throwing in the towel on my 63 Biscayne drag car project.
I could offer the car a few different ways, and that would affect the price. I may offer or include a P case 4.56 posi with the car.
Or I may offer the custom 8.5" G body 10 bolt rear with the custom fabricated crossmember and adjustable upper 4 link setup.
I'm just trying to get some ideas for pricing
I parted that other Biscayne, and all the parts from that car come with it.

I put the whole car, all the parts from two cars, plus some assorted 409 engine pieces, the torque thrust mags, headers, 4.56 P case posi, all for $8500 on Facebook marketplace,
We'll see what happens.

I'm going to post the modified G body 8.5 10 bolt 3.73, Moser axles, custom fabbed crossmember, and custom adjustable upper control arms here separately to someone who wants to do away with the wimpy factory rear,AND get rid of the pesky panhard bar.

Damn....Sorry to see it end this way I was enjoying the progress. I gotta admit, that G-body 10-bolt swap turned out really well! Mounts and control arms you made for it look really slick! Sorry to hear about your pops and recent divorce. Can’t say that I blame ya. For selling the car that is....

Updated with lower prices in the for sale section.
This is going to make someone a really good car with a little more floor work, especially with all the extra parts that come with it.
Time for it to go, would like to start cleaning my stuff out of my parents garage after the first of the year.
