My 1967 Belvedere Convertible Plans and Restoration (aka - Mad Scientist Build)

[tallhair]

Nice progress Khan and nice story about your pops and your shared pastime .. good on you for carrying it forward for the both of you. Nice work on the belvy too .. I know that's tedious. Are you still using your needle scaler on stuff like that prior to finish griding? Its supposed to work on paint too

Good to hear that wasnt oil! But agreed, here's your chance for a cam swap! :grin: looking good and glad you're gettin back at it with the welder

I don't know if this will help you any but maybe this program (free) might help a little if you do a cam swap.. its free and i know others have tried it and liked it so, ill chance a boo to help out, i HOPE lol.

Happy Birthday Kahn. Here are some famous people that you share a birthday with. http://www.famousbirthdays.com/march3.html enjoy.

Hope it's warm enough there for you to go out to your shop and sit in the Belve and make engine and shifting noises along with the movements necessary. Have a great one.

Happy Birthday Brother!!

 

[conv67bdere]

Thanks everyone ! ! ! So much appreciated - even more then making it through yet another year ! ! !

Last night, we had rain, sleet, cold temps, and icing . . . but my daughter wanted to take me to a movie for my Birthday - so we went to see 3 days to Kill with Kevin Costner. We walk into the movie theater just as the previews are starting - and we're the ONLY ones there . . . so I turn to my daughter and tell her that it was awfully nice of her to reserve the entire theater for our own private screening of the movie . . . ( smile )

The movie was great, the time with my daughter was priceless ! ! ! Couldn't have been a better birthday . . . including all my great FBBO friends wishes included ! ! !

Hey Goon . . . I'm giving it some serious consideration ! ! ! ( smile )

I think it would be awful hard to not give it some serious consideration since you're right at that point! Obviously we all know how things snowball but it is a damn fine return for a (relatively) small investment!

How's the weather going in your neck of the woods?? Allowing you any chance to put some work in or still too nasty?

Great weather to get everyone sick as a dog . . . 65 degrees on Sunday, and 25 degrees on Monday . . . rain, possibly changing to freezing rain and sleet ( maybe 3-5 inches of snow ) tonight . . . and back up in the 60's again this weekend . . .

It can't make up it's mind what it wants to do down here . . . getting some shop time, but trying to figure out what to do with the tubs . . . and the rotted wheel flares.
