I have a 67 Belvedere, someone’s old race car. My dad got it …. over 10 years ago and finally dropped it off to me. It’s a unit for sure and will get y’all some pics tomorrow. When he first got it we needed an engine/transmission and windshield right off the bat. During the next few weeks of messin with it it really started to intrigue me once i noticed the not so noticeable holes someone drilled then almost papier-mâchéd
Over it so it wasn’t easily noticeable in the headlight bezels and basically the entire core support, so now that your intrigued I will give ya a quick rundown, swiss cheesed 67 Belvedere, aluminum inner fenders and floor, fiberglass doors (empty) caged with a narrowed Dana 60 and I believe 5?? Gear. It has a camed stock non hp 383 and built 727 that will tickle yer belly when she launches off the line.
 
Welcome from the central coast of Ca.

Welcome. I was born and raised in what is now called Eastpointe, formally East Detroit.
 
Welcome from northeast of Detroit. I, too, was born and raised in East Detroit, as it will always be East Detroit to me. Kelly, south of Toepher.

Very cool sounding car

What's the plan ?
get it back to a racecar or a combo street/strip car ?
creative ? weight reduction

should be fun either way
