Re: Concours Judging 1963 M Convertible that looks like Roadster
I did get a 63 ac vent on EBay. But
It’s in fair shape. The recessed painted area is flaked off in areas.
Probably be easier to just get a restored part - than get it rechromed and someone repaint the black areas
Thanks for all the help

Re: Headroom and legroom for 63 Convertible
I sat in one. But I was too close. :( My head hit the top of windshield. And my guy hit the steering wheel. The power seat wasn’t working From Cliff’s mod moving seat back with straps will help. I also bought a smaller and flatter steering wheel. Strange. That for a car with such a big door. The end...

Re: LED headlights
Looks good. I have a plug in play rear tailight for my Harley - would think that would also work.
No large ballast to it.
The LED Headlights look sick.
Any electrical issues on load
