    Black-Plate driver

    Interesting point of view and opportunity on this web site.

    (Note the dig on NCRS) We are not that bad are we?

    Patrick;

    Interesting. My Daytona Blue 63 looked something like that when I got back at it in 1976, though not near as bad. I too repainted then thinking that was the best way to restore it's value - and back then it was. Mine had sat out long enough to patina all the flat surfaces which really looks bad/sad.

    If a lot of the parts on this car are still good, it is almost worth that much as a parts car. Lot of nice stuff missing under the hood though.

      I wonder what would be the best way to fix the "dent" in the rear quarter???

        I didn't choke on that one as most of us would because I once saw a completely restored 63 like this one for sale at D & M Corvette in Downers Grove, Illinois that had a large glob/bulge on the lower part of the left front fender. It was obviously the result of some very poor repair work. Too bad too as otherwise it was a near perfect car - 360hp Fuelie w/ both tops and power windows (?). How anyone could overlook that I'll never know, and then put it in the show room to boot!

          Any good corvette body guy would use a stud welder to pull the big stuff follwed by some hammer and dolly work right?
