Figured I'd post why my belvedere wasn't done yet, although close now. The belvedere will be more for going straight and building this cuda as a daily driver, modern hemi, 6 speed, ac etc. Picked it up cheap, was going to be a parts car, but 5k in sheetmetal later...
Half the body will be made in Taiwan when it's done. I got new door skins and new fenders for it too. Still saved a ton over buying a solid one to start with. I also can drive it and if I hit a deer or whatver, I can just order new parts and fix it and not be too upset. Stripped it down and went to town.

Floors could have been done with small sections, but decided to do the full floor and be done with it. All parts are goodmark, except amd quarters and door skins.

Got a hood basically for free using ebay bucks, had a messed up steel hood... so bonded the race glass to the frame, so I'll have a bolt on hood and is pretty light, but very sturdy too.

Did both a-pillars, need to install inner fenders yet, but sat in now, just need to weld... did some work on the roof, rockers need repairs along with the front pillar.
One pic with trunk lid on... fits pretty good, not on hinges, just checking gaps

That's a huge project you've taken on, but will be worth it in the end. Out of curiousity, how long did it take you to go from starting the project to what's shown in the last pic?

I'd say 2 weeks of work spread out over a month or so. There was a lot more repaired that I don't have pictures of. That is absolutely incredible. I can only hope to be able to get bodywork done that quickly. Keep up the great work.

I blast everything but exterior panels, rockers will get blasted... floors will get chassis saver, same with any rust on the underside. Roof I'll sand off most of the rust and metal prep then etch primer. The roof is the only panel on the exterior really that will be left still oem other than rockers

I can only hope to be able to get bodywork done that quickly. Keep up the great work. Had a friend who could rebuild 5 cars and remodel most of his house in a month. ( not really, but he got ALOT done in a short period of time) Not sure how he did it either...

Wish I had more time to get it done... too many projects. Another part, Borg Warner airwerks 75mm turbo. New in the box for well under 200, love finding deals like this It's no small/lightweight turbo, sitting in a 15" rallye wheel.
