In 1963 things were done a little differently. You made do with what you had. Much of the work on our car was done with a cutting torch. That's what was available...that worked...it was good enough for a race car

Check out my homemade low oil light. Probably could have bought the trailer clearance light from Western AutoView attachment 65532View attachment 65533View attachment 65532View attachment 65533

That will get your attention. I'd probably think it meant that it's time to shift.

Russ Are those period (vintage) headers.......are those the Headers that it was raced with ......what kind of Headers are they please........By the way that looks awesomeView attachment 71686View attachment 71687

 

[RussC]

Yes...they are headers from the period. Nicholson made the original set. These closely resemble his. I suspect these are either Nicholson's or a set of S&S. I feel fortunate to have them...thank you Dennis

 

[409envy]

Russ, looks like an 0- water pump

Question... why are there two coil brackets on the firewall?

 

[Don Jacks]

It may have had one of those dual coil set ups on it at one time.

Yes...cast 1/15/63

Question... why are there two coil brackets on the firewall?

I can't say. It's a mystery. It appears in the photos from 1963. Don may be correct. That would be a good question for Ed Anderson
