I saw this Pix on Facebook, and it is SOOO tempting to do one of these.

I would NEVER cut up my '63' since it's 99.5% stock and that would be a Butchering.. But maybe there's a Project in my future.

Excepting that ‘park bench’ bolted to the rear deck, it does look pretty nice!

Yeah, I'm not much for the metal structured fin or front air dam either., but would rather see a creative painted and well formed metal made structure. But the stance, wheels, tires and fenders are quite nice.

I had been considering my '63' as a daily driver (cept winter and salted roads) I have my concerns doing so with a stock vehicle as this one is.  BUT... To take a post '64' with a Chev V-8, and buying one for around $12k in need of resto, would leave a lot of financial room for modding up something like this...... My '63 would easily sell for around $40k... leaving a lot of financial room to turn out something like this. Bet it could be done for about another $10-12k out of pocket.

I acknowledge that owners can modify their cars in any way that makes them happy.  But, to me, the flares and spoilers are visual blight.  The Avanti broke world speed records without spoilers and wider wheels over 60  years ago.  What's the point other than "Look what  can do"?
