67 Belvedere race car project, LeMONS/Chumpcar - 10/17/09 03:11 PM
I thought I'd share the build up of my new racecar. She's a rusted 67 Belvedere post car, so she's getting a better life now as she was destined to be a parts car. Thanks to Tom Herrgert (Tallzag) for practically giving her to me. I'm excited to build a B body, as I have a lot of parts leftover from my 69 RR build and parts cars over the years. I plan on Lemons style racing with it. The theme for the car is going to be "UGLY BETTY"...
Yesterdays progress constisted of cleaning out the trunk of all the crap that belonged to the previous owners. As always there were some interesting surprises found, including: a wallet (no money, but had hospital records from a previous junkie owner), 2 vibratory cylinders wrapped in socks, hopefully from the previous owners wife (good thing I had gloves), 3 hubcaps, a spare, 2 jacks, and 2 trash cans full of crap.
Next up is:
1) Cleaning the interior out.
2) Removing the rust with the plasma cutter
3) Fabrication time
I'll be listing parts removed from the car soon in the for sale section.
