61 biscayne build

I like it too. 
It looks cool just the way it is.
I say,,, drop in that stroker, upgrade the driveline and try and get her ready by late April for that race you were talking about. "Flag Drags in Herrington, Ks."
The body can wait.
The nice thing about that engine you've got is that it's been tuned on the dyno and it's all set to go.

I was offered enough to turn it lose, but kinda sad i never had a really good chance to drive it since it was finished. The biscayne made a short stop in Wichita (on my way back from Ca.) to have a little fender well repair, that i didn't want to tackle; repaired, and Tim Devlin of Devlin Rod and Customs wanted to buy my wagon, so it is gone.... Biscayne home today and the engine and trans sold today. So i am on my way to install the 409 after engine compartment clean up work. I will post some pics as i go. Couple shots of wagon in the Devlin/Starbird car show last month in Wichita.....Where Tim first saw and wanted to buy it. Dean ps. My twin brothers 1st car, 1940 chev is parked behind me that he has owned since 1959...................a long time

You know, I am a bright chrome and shiny paint guy from way back but not so sure the guys aren't right. Shoot clear over the patina on the car and it would be way cocky.
I think so too. Scotchbrite and a little clear for now!
Don't paint that car! Looks killer as is!
I'm not sure if it's the same,but a cool color.....
I've been watching this thread for a while Dean, cool 61 ya got
It's funny because I just bought the exact same car (it's even surf green) and I'm doing the exact same thing you are. Out with the original 6 banger/3-speed, in with my '64 409/340 and a super T-10. I'll make an update on the thread I started a year+ ago pretty soon. Here it is on the hook after the toothless ol' boy I bought er from dragged it off the back 40 so I could load it.

Cool
Nice find.
Patina or not!!!!!!
I sure hope not.....I'd love to find another myself to swap stuff over from the rusty 62.
When I got the Belair, I had no idea what a PITA the side trim is. After a while, I wished it was a Biscayne, but I had no intention of filling those giant clip holes down the side. The clips are another story by themselves. I will never know why they didn't use the Impala trim, if they felt it was necessary!! Someday I will post the whole story.
