    To date, I've not been able to locate any source for aftermarket outer rocker panels for my '65 2 dr hdtp Belvedere. I'm aware that some could be fabricated, but I'd like to avoid the "cut & try" route if there's a ready-stamped source available. My somewhat limited knowledge tends to think...

    Stock or dropped front spindles

    I've acquired what can only be described as a "project car" ( 65 Belvedere, 1970 440, a/t ), where someone, years ago, converted the front brakes to discs. The car rides way to low in front for my liking, and before I crank up the torsion bars and all that connected stuff... can anyone tell by...

    65 Belvedere - Work in Progress

    Hi, I have a 65 Belvedere, with a 70 440. It was a "kind of" barn find from an elderly gentlemen ( I gotta a lot of nerve saying that since I'm 70yo myself ! ) and I am trying to straighten out some of the issues that were probably ok 15-20 years ago. It was converted to power disc / drums with...

    In need of new aftermarket shifter - Recommendations please

I don't like the B&M Quicksilver shifter at all and want to replace it with something more up to date and easier to work with.
