Belair 4 door sedan labor of love

[Ronniemac]

Thanks for all the comments on the introduction. Since I’m coming into this forum in the middle of my restoration and my frame goes to powder coat tomorrow I’ll attach some pictures. As you can see I don’t have an elaborate shop but I make do.

Fancy shop or not, it looks like your gettin it done.

I think the biggest consideration is space .....and it looks like you’ve got that in spades

I have seen people do amazing work in single car garages, however even with my 3 car I feel pressed or would have kept my other 67 LeMans convertible.

Keep up the good work Ronniemac. Looks great.

 

[Barry Taylor]

That is a nice car right now so I can’t wait to see it finished.

 

[Don Jacks]

Is that GMPP 350 one of the 330 hp versions?

 

[Ronniemac]

Yes 333 hp to be exact. This will be the second one I purchased. First one went in a 77 Buick Skylark and was very pleased with the outcome.

 

[Ronniemac]

Barry thanks for noticing and it is a fine rust free specimen 58 except for above the headlights (typical). Car was garaged all its life. It had more exhaust systems replaced because of short drives and moisture collecting in the exhaust and rusting internally. I know at least four times in 59k miles.

 

[Phil Reed]

That is an AWESOME BODY!@!!!!! I know the love of 2 doors and convertibles but it will be almost illegal on the fun you are gonna have with your 58!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Car was called Jolly Green Giant and ran out of St. Thomas, Ontario (Sparta)...cool car.....good luck with the project....

 

[Ronniemac]

Ah......... May I suggest that you didn't pay enough for your glasses. Yes, 58's are very cool cars!... even the 4 door more door version...
Can't wait to see the next chapter in its life..

I get them from the Dollar General store, I don't understand. Lol

 

[Junky]

Maybe I am the one needing glasses.. I could have sworn that you referred to it as a 2 door car... Sorry, my mistake..

 

[409gang]

I did at first and then edited it, didn't think anyone caught it. Your not as blind as you think,Lol

 

[Junky]

Thanks... You have restored my faith in my ability to read and understand the printed word. All those English classes in high school weren't wasted on me.

 

[Ronniemac]

Let the assembly begin!!! I got the frame back from powder coat this morning and I have all the parts so now the hard labor begins in the heat of Texas. Adding a couple pictures for documentation.
