'58 Plymouth Belvedere

Nice work on the scoop and tubbing is looking good to.

Looking good Clay... as always!

Well. I have the front end figured out. Spindles reversed and raised to the higher point and the tie rod brackets relocated.
Rear leaf spring perches have been moved to inside the rails.



Now, Mr. ' I ain't satisfied just assembling a kit' is finding out just how unsuited that engine is in a street machine. So, a whole lot of 'imagineering' is going to take this where I hadn't planned on going !!

Loving this Clay. Good progress.

Plan "B". Sliding the engine back. This is how far it will it will be protruding to under the dash.


Blocking in the console.

Wow you have your work cut out there Clay .... As per usual though it'll end up looking the business.

Wow !!! Didn't see that coming. LOl.

Me either !!

Mock up of today's progress. Mostly interior/dash stuff. Housing on top of dash was  T turtle deck. Needs to be trimmed and then the windshield fitted over it. It's coming along!

I like it.

Now I see how it will all come together.

Wow!  That does make for a killer look and engine Clay.

Man, that thing is wild! You never disappoint Clay!

Cobbling together a roll cage of sorts. While all that was curing, I took the upholstery off of one of the side panels.
Getting anxious to get back on the engine !

I don't know how you do it but you do and the final result always looks great!

Keep chipping away

Love the set back Clay. Nice recycling of the Turtle deck too.

The interior dash and floor stuff is ready for the body to be dropped over. I got the dual electronics wired to the plug holes. Not too anxious to do that again !
Then on to the fun part, getting the  blower things detailed.

Nice work Clay. I'm really liking this!

Hi Mr G,

I always love watching your creations come to life...

Andy...

Engine ready to be installed in the chassis.

Getting the body ready for paint.

I can already feel the windows shaking when you start up the Belvedere. Granma! Hold on to the china! LOL

Today, I finally painted the body color. Mixed some One Shot and will have to let it gas out pretty good before continuing. Still will have to handle it more than I like.
