New Project 62 SS

[DIV1RACER-2]

I have been looking for a 62 SS for quite awhile .. I have known about this car for sometime and finally got it in my possession a few weeks ago ..
California built , 327 / auto tinted glass and A/C

Hope to have repowered w/ a dual quad 484 , Muncie and a 12 bolt

I like your license plate too.

I have had that plate for at least 20 years , it was not registered for a long time ... It has a good home now !!!!

Very nice it looks like the California car I built into a 409/380 HP 4 speed a number of years ago.

Just think Denny, all the room you will have in your bedroom when you take out the 409 the four-speed the clutch and other parts. Very nice car, seems all I can ever do is dream about one that nice. Congratulations looking forward to updates. Can’t wait to see you burn a tire!!!

Any reason to not run fuel line inside frame in the middle x area????

 

[DIV1RACER-2]

It is inside the frame / tunnel ..

Was looking at your 1st post. Pics of the car. I thought I read something somewhere about California cars having 1 piece bumpers. Is that a different year?

 

[Iowa 409 Guy]

You've been busy...nice.

A few of us have 1962 full size passenger cars from CA that do not have the one piece bumpers. Seems they might have "run out" of the one piece units around June 1962. I know of at least two such builds that have been documented.

I think I noted that Denny's back trunk panel did not have the "SS swirl marks" (unless I missed something). That usually designates an early build?

Cheers! TomK

P.S. Nice project Denny! True definition of "mission creep" .

Aah, the dreaded mission creep.
But it looks like time well spent. Bravo!
