1962 Belair 409/409

[maybe's rod shop]

Getting closer... Had the car outside for 20 minutes this weekend and a FKN bird shit on it. Just my luck.... Waiting on bumpers to come back and a few details .. I really need to find the correct carburetors. I have a 3361s dated '63 and a 3804s but i really dont want to spend the money to have them restored and then have to do it again. So if anyone has a line on the correct dated carburetors please let me know. Thanks

What date carbs do you need? I also have a dual snorkel air cleaner, but it is a chrome one from a 63.

Car was built March of 1962... December, January or February would be great..

I'll see what I have.

Looks good Chad!!!! Looks like you found a back window OK.

Man that's a nice car. Great color choice too. Do you know what happened to the 63 Biscayne you had for sale a few years ago? That was a cool car too but I didn't have the capital at the time

Thanks Phil and Kevin... Phil i found a back glass local , HAHA. Paid too much for it but i was done looking. Not perfect has a few scratches but it . Kevin the '63 went to Oklahoma a few years back without the 409 i put in it. I kept that of course!! Wish i still had that car. Im learning that they are much more fun as drivers ...........

Really?? I think I found your old car man...http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/5739223806.html

Glad to hear you kept the W engine! That would explain why this one has a SB too.

I dont want NOS since im having them re anodized . I want to make sure they all match. I have found a couple but they have splits in them or small holes. Not interested in repop either. Let me know Don what you find . Thanks for your help!.. Chad

Chad,
I have original drivers rear 1/4 hooks currently at Dave K. . He has two lefts (driver side) of mine as I recall - he got them about 2 weeks ago. I would part/ sell you one of them - he can finish one of them for you. Is your aluminum trim at his place ?

If you would agree to "eventually " find a used drivers one for me - to be restored, I 'm ok with selling one of mine. I am short of pairs - to many passenger sides - I am using the limited number of driver sides I have for pairs of rear 1/4 hooks. Send me a message and we can work it out.

Chad, buy paul's, I dug mine out, one is probably not usable, the other has some small dents and "might" be fixable. Dave Kosman does the best work on anodized.

I had a real good set, I sent them to NZ with the 62.

 

[maybe's rod shop]

Does anyone know where i can find one of these? I have the left side and im looking for the right side. Side sleeve for a bench seat... Thanks Chad

 

[maybe's rod shop]

Anyone have one of these? I don't care what color. Thanks Chad

Chad,
Send me a note, the 1/4 chrome(left hook) from Dave Kosmann is done.
I have to find your phone number.
