'67 Belvedere

Started this weekend getting the big stuff done. New brake master cylinder and now it stops! YAY! Carb kit installed but still have some issues. I think it needs more timing and some ignition upgrades. (Im just going by what my husband says for most of this so bear with me if I sound smart, LOL). As you can see we are attacking the rust before it attacks us. It's eventually going to be a dark red with a silver top that's why the goofy mismatch of primers.

I also want to eliminate the side mouldings so all those little holes have to be welded up, 68 I think in all? Get rid of the rear wheel fender trim since it didn't have the front wheel fender trim anyways. I didn't get a picture of the new steel patch panel welded in the passenger side rear fender but it was a work of art!

It looks to me like you have been getting some of the old rubber off the rear tires. the 66 67s were the best looking cars I think.Oo and more pic. like the first please hahaha.

68 holes is a lot to weld up but it will look a lot better eliminating the side mouldings.
Put a 67 GTX gas lid on and it will look great.

First off, not my tire marks...yet. Those are from EVERY hotrod we've had for the last 6 years. Someone can't put a car away without tire smoke rolling out from under it LOL.
Today was battery tray replacement. Corrosion was terrible. Did get a new battery tho and changed oil and plugs. Runs better but engine may need to come out and be refreshed. Brakes are working great. Trying to decide on wheels.

Hey your not wasting any time!!!Luckily you can save the rear panels...There are no after market ones available for 66 and 67...I found a guy that made them by hand for my gtx...Both wheels you have pictured really don,t look all that good...The stars are cheesey and the bmw wheels...NOT!!!!Weld draglites would look cool...Just my two cents....

Great Job. Although I have gone through all this myself, I still have a lot of work to do to call mine done! I spent a lot of time looking at wheels and found these to look the best. Just my opinion though. Kinda have a period correct look to them.
