My 63 Meteor

[carltalon]

I just got my membership approved so I figured I'd post some pictures to introduce myself. I've had this car since 1996 but it has been stored in my parents shed since 2002. This summer I pulled it out and started cleaning it up and getting it back on the road. My friend who is a professional photographer also did a photo shoot of it. The car still has a long way to go but it is getting there.

My daughter and Me at the first car show we went to this summer after Getting the car back on the road.

Thanks. I have 2" Loweringblocks in the rear and 1.5 coils cut out of the front springs. The wheels are 17 by 8" mustang Bullitt wheels with 225/50/17 tires. I had to add a 1" spacer I the front to clear the upper control arms.

Thanks for the comments. I've had some time off work so I took some parts od the motor and had my buddy powder coat them for me. The engine bay still has a long way to go but its a huge improvement.

Very nice!! I notice that your wheel center caps are Mustang. I don't know if they will fit your wheels, but I got center caps with the Merc Man Head for my aftermarket Magnum 500 wheels from Autokraft. You may want to contact them to see if they are still available, and if they will fit your wheels.

Thanks. I have been looking for different center caps. I would love to find some with the Merc man head. I'll have to look at Autokraft. If I cant find those there are some with the ford oval that look pretty good. almost like a cragar logo but ford.
