65 Belvedere II that just followed me home

[topside]

Probably ought to be decided quickly: whatever metal comes off is going to attack every bearing.
Had a near-twin to that many years ago; gold interior car with power windows that ran up & down like guillotines.
Last I heard, it's still in NorCal and being enjoyed.

Picked up a Rebuilt engine today from a Diehard Mopar man.... He's an Engine builder. This was his engine he just freshly built 322 CI Small block for his Demo Derby Car. He ran it about 5 mins, and a piece of metal came through the floor went through his calf... He almost Bled out. 12 Hours in the Trama unit/ then surgery to repair the Damage. His wife asked him to stop Derby racing, so he's done.... I probably won't run The Zoomies....But I will dress it out in 273 Red with finned valve covers etc etc...

Slowly working on the 65....Ordered everything I need to switch out the 273 for the little 318 I bought.... Been Cleaning and Polishing ALL the trim, Bumpers,etc. Cleaned the interior, Bought Floormats. Slowly "working" the light rust areas with CLR, and elbow grease, and then Polishing and Waxing...
Cleaning under the Hood is going well !! Definate improvement over the included before pic. Also, decided to go with a aluminum radiator, after the original sprung a leak. upon closer inspection, it was toast. I didn't want to spend $750 for a replacement or $1K to recore....Also, Going to run some manifolds in Place of the "gasser" Zoomies...LOL
