My name is Rick Sells and I have taken on the task of building a 1963 Split Window Corvette. At 62 years old, this will be a challenge, but with my back ground in drag racing, my Industrial Arts shop teaching skills, and some help from a good friend, maybe by 63 years of age, I can have it finished. I hope the car will have a little touch of pro street, a touch of pro touring, some old school, but still have that 63 Split Window look.....
I traveled from Lawrence, Kansas to Watertown, New York to get the body, I designed my own frame, had Art Morrison bend and cut the frame parts,,,, and I am putting it together. 2014 Corvette front suspension, Ridetech Air Ride, LS-3 power, T56 Magnum tranny, 9 inch Ford rear end with 4:10 Strange third member, US gear, and Strange Axles,,,,,,sound like fun to me. I will keep those of you who have an interest, up to date on my build thread. Thank you for reading,,,,, Rick
