One of my favorite drivers. I still have to do his '63 purple Galaxie.

Very nice build. Great attention to detail. Fireball was an icon of the sport.

I think my only real detail was the exhaust going through the trunk and exiting near the bumper I think. The most insane part to me was the 3 speed shift on the column. And only a lap belt? Good way to crack a few ribs!

Another awesome build. Can't wait to see your Purple 63 Southern 500 winner. You should do a wip here when you do it so we can follow you on your journey.
