ok guys well i picked up a 63 dart from Az426hemi and probalby getting another one lol...

but anyways 63 is ony year only for backwindow/gasket and grill correct?

63 and 64 front fenders are the same?

i'll get pics up tomorrow!
 
Yup. The fenders are the same. Hood too....at least as far as interchangability. They may have some trim differences. Not sure. And yeah, that back glass and gasket is smaller than the 64 and up. I like um cause they look like a mini max wedge car from the back.
 
Welcome to the early A Body club. toolman
 
Cool hope to see some pics, I bought a 64 vert and thought 63 and 64 were the same,
Got educated here on FABO site LOL

Oh yeah and don't forget the V8 thing too. 1964 was the first year for the V8 in the early A, so they were made differently. The engine bay in the 1963 and back is way different. Especially the firewall. A small block will not fit in the 1963 and back without pretty extensive firewall mods because those cars were designed around the slant 6.

yea the other 63 im getting has been modded... he just made a pie cut near the dizzy and pushed it in...
 
ok so here is the orange one! it is a parts car,
its missing most all the interior, some trunk stuff, both bumpers, and trunk hidges, and the two front fenders...

not really a whole lot so im just gonna sit on it till i figure out if im getting the sister 63 from AZ426Hemi...

i wanted to go thru it and clean it up first, as i havn't even installed the door's yet... lol

The doors are all different too......latches were redesigned between '63 and '64. Looks like you have plenty of room to add more cars to your collection! :)

little issues i can see but not bad for a 440 crank and rods lol...

i might be getting his other car to which is really really nice so i would build off that one but will see!
 
ok so i put a little time into it today! its in alot better shape than it looked when i got it lol!

all the floors look solid, trunk area is NOS perfect! has issues infront of both wheel wells but won't know till i care to to the body work on it...

all the dash is intact

interior is just missing a front seat and carpets, both rear regulators i think are shot...

trunk just needs a mat and hindges for the decklid...

the worst area is the front... the "tried" to patch in near the battery... all bad lol... and for some reason started cutting out the core support but luckily didn't finish... still not sure why lol...

see for your self!
