I liked mine all stock. I left all the stock mld's on it and left everything body wise stock. The Torque Thrust and steelie wheels along with the scoop really gave my 63 the old 60's SS look. And I love it ! Ron

I agree on black but alot of people seem to like the bright colors. This is my first black vehicle and it is a pain to keep clean, But looks exceptional when clean. That red looks really sharp to. I have had a hemi orange 95 ram and a dodge ram yellow truck (other brand) so I went black on this one and have no regrets!! Doesnt matter what color you paint it as mopars are just cool any color.

I'd reverse the colors....Blue on to/silver bottom....or a Dodge truck graphite grey on top/with silver bottom.

Yep, blue on top, silver bottom would be sharp or gold top, black bottom with steel wheels, black in front gold out back.

I assume blue interior?
I would put the lighter color high,does`nt show dust as easy,won`t show scratches as easy either. Also will be slightly cooler in sun.
Of the cars I`ve done darker bottom/lighter top always looks good.

The gray/ silver top portion looks good, but I think the bottom might need a darker shade of blue. But thats my opinion, my car is now primer green.



it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

I like the stock white, like on your top, on 1963 Plymouth I raced a M.W. 415 HP two door sedan Belevedere for many years that was the stock 1963 Mopar white I bought and raced another M.W. Belevdere two door hardtop that was the dark blue like the later cars, it look good also

I also like the o'll school look. So I went with Candy-Apple red with micro gold metal flakes over a shimming silver base coat.
