New 63 Starfire - Howdy!

I've already posted elsewhere, missed this intro forum so better late than never! I recently purchased a 1963 Starfire, always wanted one since owning a couple of full size 64's MANY years ago. It looks good and runs good but. as usual, needs some attention. I have had the AC serviced and relined the brakes including new hoses and wheel cylinders. Next up is front end bushings / ball joints and all new springs and shocks from Fusick. Down the road will be an exhaust system to replace the old glasspacks currently ruining what is left of my hearing. I'm looking forward to driving this car a lot and a number of posts asking for your expertise will be coming.

Beautiful car -- love that white interior. After looking at your pictures, I now know the application of two wheelcovers I have hanging in my barn (thanks!)

The old car is a 1932 Cadillac V-12, my other project. I barely have time to handle one but...

Welcome to CO! We run up to the Cadillac Pizza Pub off the square the last Friday of every month and listen to my cousin, Quinten Hope, rock out! One of the greatest guitar players you will ever hear; of course I'm prejuidiced, but who cares!!! He just got back from NYC sitting in with Eric Johnson, another Texas guitar picker who is exceptional. North Texas Olds Club has multiple Members around here, and would love to have you join us! A Zone Show coming up in October, be sure and monitor Annoncements on CO! Once again, welcome!!!
