From 2002 to 2015 ... still daily driving (my calculations are 38k miles cruising in this time frame). Treated her to a outside respray 5 years ago and she had a short break from daily driving as I briefly convinced myself to try a new car and save some of the wear and tear. Have now resigned myself to just replacing OG stuff as needed and to just enjoy the drive

May 2013 right after purchasing my '63.
May 2015 after the typical suspension mods and HOURS of stripping the weird flat metallic green respray to reveal the mostly intact original turkis.

Where can I get that spoiler / air dam? How flexible is the material? Is that attached to the bumper? |
