also read that the 63 steel front end max wedge cars had the battery in the front,only 63,s that had the batteries in the back were the lightweights Depends on the build date, battery moved to trunk on all MW cars February 1963.

You really ought to buy the Davis book on Maxies if you even THINK you have one. Documentation is key, and the info in his book is thorough & fascinating in any case. I tried to buy one of his books awhile back and they are not available at this time. I did e mail him about a car and he responded quickly the other day about a car I had found. If you e mail him the vin you can find out very quickly if its a real max wedge car. ddavis8839@aol.com

Look at the pass front brake line on the firewall, Max wedge where routed in a different spot than standard engines. Like this,brake line from master cylinder is also unique.

MW with A/C? Gotta be a clone.
On the correct MW firewall the most noticeable differences, besides the cross-firewall brake line, are the relocated voltage regulator, engine wiring harness and the rerouted brake line from the MC. All of these are easily replicated. I believe the one thing that is usually ignored when cloning a MW is the extra parking brake cable guides welded to the underside of the floor pan.

I once saw a pic of what was reputed to be a MW prototype, instead of the cable guides welded to the floor pan they drilled holes in the floor and installed a couple of seat belt eyebolts and routed the cable through them. I did the same thing when I built my MW clone.
