Thanks for that, the only thing I can add is that code 6A means padded dash. This is the 4th Belair sport coupe I've recorded that was built in Canada and is the 2nd 6 cylinder that I've recorded.Here’s my Canadian Sport coupe
Well you can add me as owner because it’s not going anywhere. LolThanks for that, the only thing I can add is that code 6A means padded dash. This is the 4th Belair sport coupe I've recorded that was built in Canada and is the 2nd 6 cylinder that I've recorded.
Thanks Kevin, I appreciate your input. Now to clean the shop and start the race car plans.Neat car Tooth, I like it I'm pretty sure every X-frame chevy geek has dreamt about a 62 bubble top at one time or another. I know I have!
Something fishy if the body tag says JA and the vin tag says F. Not unheard of I guess, just strange. Especially since Carl has record of Bel Air hardtop bodies being built AND assembled at both Flint and Janesville, it just seems weird.
Maybe Fisher in Janesville shipped some Bel Air hardtop bodies to Flint for assembly. Not likely but, Flint is pretty close to Janesville. Those rivets on the body tag are absolutely original though.
Car is damn near perfect alreadyIt's time to start the metal work on the 62. Ready to put the support bars "Jungle Jim" inside to support the body and keep it from moving so I can replace the rockers one at a time...View attachment 120578View attachment 120579View attachment 120580View attachment 120581
You need to see it in person, it's far from damn near perfect. Fiberglass in the floors big time and in the trunk. Inside rockers gone! Someone put new rocker skins over the old ones. Didn't do a very good job. Trust me when I say my plate is FULL on this one. No schedule for completion, just keep going till it's done. Perfect canadate for a race car. I'll post more pics soon and you will get a better idea of the rust. Overall still a good find because of rarity, there were no surprises I saw all this when I bought it. Besides I call it garage therapy takes my mind off the political scene lies.Car is damn near perfect already
