1963 LeMans
I've been working on this 63 a couple years now. (off and on) I hope to have it done this year for Norwalk.

My dad and I have been racing various cars at Lapeer since 1969. What a hole, but still go there a couple times a year. Mike

^# Lemans Rear End
I am just starting to build my own 63 Lemans street car. The 1st decision I need to make is on the rear end type. Is that a Ford 9" with ladder bars? Whose set up did you use? I could sure use some insight on this before I go fumbling off on my own!
Thanks, John
