I purchased this 65 Belvedere at the Red Barn show in 2009 for $2500.00 and have been working on it ever since. I figure I've lost 3 years recuperating from surgeries and more time due to working (now retired) and life but, damn it feels good!

Great start there Mike, I am looking forward to seeing it completed. Is this going to be a tribute altered wheelbase car by the looks of the rear wheels looking like they are moved forward a bit from stock?

No. The body except floor is stock. Camera angle?

Maybe it is my imagination then, looks stock now that you mention it and the more I look at it. Nevermind, I am still looking forward to seeing how it turns out though. Best of luck with it
