I have not seen anything turn up. |
Double check, they in-laws are telling it was delivered some time ago, they are out but will get me the tracking number. |

Almost. Seats are done apart from the rear bottom cover. I still need to have a new cover for it made.
I found some NOS carpet pieces and had a local place use them for patterns. They mirrored the left side wheel well and rocker piece for the right side, and made a center firewall section. I'll install these pieces myself when I have the car up at my place. I didn't need the floor sections as I have some original rubber mats.
Getting really close now. We just closed on a new place so I'll have a garage for the Notchback. ISP is wrapping up some minor fixes now and then I'll probably fly down and drive her home up the 101 to San Jose.
Fingers crossed! _________________ 1963 Notchback - Ruby Red

She's a runner! First test drive today.
Made a quick stop at my buddy Brien's shop, Roth Vintage, so he could ream out the main jet real quick.
More driving tomorrow... _________________ 1963 Notchback - Ruby Red

Thank you, everyone! Drove it around all over SoCal.
Donated a hubcap and beauty ring to the 405 fwy.
