    62' Door Hardware Question

    Question 2 if I am not mistaken, and my memory may not be the best.....but on my '60 you can put your hand up there from behind....look on the floor behind the drivers seat, you will see that there is access....or maybe it was from the gas tank area....but look around that area.....

    63 RestoMod Versus Restoration

    you have a tough decision..... First, either way if you stick $30k into the car, if you add the value of the car now and then the additional $30k, you won't get your money out, IMHO. 1963 verts with NOM in nice shape go for about $40k+/- $6k. Your car as it sits now, you could probably get...
