I've always loved your car Ron! It reminds me of my old man letting me drive his 65 Sport Fury when I was a senior in high school.
I recently blew one of the turbos in my daily driver Audi, so I'm back to driving the truck to work every day. It's a good thing I left the heater and wipers in it. I'm still amazed at how well it gets through the snow during the winter months with the spool! I had forgotten how loud it is until trying to not wake the neighbors every morning at 6:30AM...It's one of the quietest vehicles at the dragstrip. Only thing that sucks is going from 30 mpg to 10!
I'd like to take it to Great Bend or Kearney to run it some time, but I'd probably get the boot for not having a rollbar. It would be fun to find out if it would really run in the 10s like the altitude correction suggests.

Mine has wipers (no wiper motor...because I don't drive in the rain) and a radio. It even passed emissions when I lived in Colorado (just barely). I drive it to the track on occasion, but I normally trailer it just in case. Last year I drove it to Monster Mopar Weekend in Indy....and had to drive home in the rain Sunday....that was scary.

Ron...ya'got me beat!...et's,and cosmetics! Your '63' is a 'jewel" for sure!..oh,yeah!..and a TRUE street/stripper!  My GTX has been/will be driven fairly often on the street,when I get it completed....but with a 4:56,and proximity to the closest track..I don't have the guts to venture driving it quite that far!  I can say that both,my wiper blades,and radio(Sony CD player)still work! Of course,with a 3" exhaust and Ultra-Flo's,terminating at the axle....the stereo system is deemed worthless,cruising down the road!

Ron,
that's a hell of a ride! 
You should add a sound-file...
What's it's weight (with radio + full ashtray)?
Sorry as I missed this earlier. My 63 weighs just over 3700 lbs with me in it.
Wow I tell you there is some very fine stree/strip machines owned by you all here on Moparts. Thanks for posting your street/strip cars. Now lets see more with pics as I love reading about street/strip cars and their combo's. And I enjoy pics of them. Ron

I never did understand why someone would remove the Wipers, heater box, heater blower radio etc. Just to loose ~30 lbs and gain .03-.04, unless you're running 9 sec or so and need every last bit.
I'm considering hooking a speaker to my radio (still installed) in order to hear the track announcer.
Yeah, it's got a smallblock.

you got me on the heater and radio, as my car came as radio and heater delete car. I have everything else but a horn, and my car is quiet! Not the best street manners with a spool but still tame enough to cruise around
Ron your car is cool as h$ll, you need to put a crossram on that thing

Driven on the streets of New York City. All steel with a few options taken out for good measure. Passes the safety test and all.
Wedge motor with Manual valve body and 410 Dana cogs out back. Steel wheels, Home made Hemi AFX scoop, A990 interior, Gas tank in stock location but with a Aeromotive in tank fuel pump feeding the four mouths. Cruises very civil on the highway.

Its pretty damn simple... light weight is faster and
maybe more important.. its easier on parts... so you
dont have to make big HP in a light car... and 30 lbs
is a pretty good start for a race car that will NEVER
use that stuff..... yes I have all that stuff on my
street/strip car.... plus I even have a trailer hitch
