Re: Old days come back to life



Yeah the weather is nice for sure!  Thanksgiving is predicted to be in the 60's.

Nice weather here, for November anyway, upper 50's and mostly clear sky's , so took the '63 out for one last drive today.  Borrowed a pair of good radial tires from my brother to see how it would drive with decent tires.  I rebuilt the front suspension a couple years ago with a kit from Performance Suspension, but it still drove poorly.  Figured the 20 year old bias ply tires, with very uneven wear were to blame so gave it a test this way.  Rears are still old bias ply.  Wow, what  a difference.
Took a picture of it that didn't turn out too well, as I should have gotten the car out of the shadows, and dug up an old pic of my first '63 which was virtually the same car except in a hardtop.  I changed the rearend in the ragtop awhile back, and lost some tire clearance, so I had to dig up some old wheels for the time being, which just happen to be the same wheels which I bought for the hardtop back in 1973, the first "custom" wheels, which I got used for 25 bucks for  the pair.  Got me all nostalgic, so I thought I'd share the pics with anyone that cares to look.  Kind of a completed circle I guess.  Hope I can get them uploaded proper like. Thanks for looking.  If you've been around these old cars as long as I have, you'll understand.
