James Great story and like your Belvedere we sometimes get rusted out in life, beat up, and need to find a new reverse gear and by the grace of God we come out with a new motor, all the body rust washed away, and a great paint job to show the world. .

It was the most unhealthy job I've ever had. (Not just for the inherent toxins, but also the drugs and the people that hung out there.) When I sobered up, I wanted to do one car as a reward to myself for having put me through all that. I didn't really plan on doing that to this Belvedere I that was beat up, rusted out, had the wrong motor, and no reverse. Belle grew on me. Five years, four months, and $23K later, she began to pull trophies, win the respect of Year One on her catalog pages as the only 273 they had ever seen done to this level of originality. No matter how bad life got, a drive in Belle would make it much better. She is the hands-down, most dependable machine I have ever known. A gift from God. My sobriety is God's gift to me. What I do with it is my gift to God.
