Those that are interested in this topic...it's always nice to have a little historical perspective...

From US Measured Temperature Data-set 1895 to Present Not much of a trend, the 1930s were much hotter on average. Across the US we have less days over 90 degrees ...and less days below 20 It seems the US has less extreme temperatures on average. Sea Ice Volume and total extent might be...

For sure! Just let me know. I bought an '88 Conquest last week, so now I have my time split between 3 projects :p I'm debating swapping the 5.7 hemi into the Belvedere instead of the GTX and then building a stout big block for the GTX.

Wheels on the rear are 17x8 Fronts are 17x7 Tires are 255/45 and 225/45...wasn't the size I wanted on the front, but going with this for now.

Would like to lower the front slightly....and need to get that door aligned a bit better.

I had Ordered some replacement headlights without looking closely enough....wrong size. As it turns out every Site that I can find has the wrong size listed when you look it up by 1966 Belvedere...that'll teach me I guess. Anyways re-ordered hopefully the correct size lights that take H4 bulbs...

Yeah I was looking at that...I made some cardboard cutouts to simulate the new tires...it's going to be very close. I have the same type of tire on the GTX and they are slightly narrower overall than the online spec suggested....so I'm hoping that's the case with these as well. Should know...

haha yeah the engine compartment needs some serious help...as does most of the car. The car was Zierbart undercoated way back when...what a mess that crap is now, i think eventually it made the car rust worse underneath as it started to peal and the moisture was trapped against the metal. Also...

Quick Update.... have replaced Tank, shocks all the way around, installed aftermarket front sway bar, converted to electronic ignition, rebuilt carb, plugs, wires.....and now wheels just came in yesterday. From the comments on here I seen on 66/67 B-Bodies and my own measuring I thought 5"...

The "O" is there it's just lost most of the chrome on the inlay of the letter. I do need Plymouth symbol emblem for the passenger side rear quarter that goes on the circle medallion.

Thanks for the info, I have no reason to believe yet that the engine was swapped, was just a question in my mind if someone swapped in a LA 318 in there at some point in it's life. Needs a Gas tank, carb rebuild, normal tune up stuff for a car that's been sitting a long time, probably convert it...

Hello all, acquired this new project about a week ago. Hasn't been on the road in 25+ years(tires are very old) so it needs many things to get it back road worthy again. The pictures probably make it look better than it is, I'm told the re-paint and body work was done in the late 80s or early...

Well I suppose since this thread was resurrected, it's due for an update, haha. I had been making decent progress(Through Oct. 2016)...and then life happened, car got moved to storage(where it still is now). And due to some unfortunate circumstances it's going to need work and $$ to get...
