Location: Helena, Montana | Here is my dad's 59 belvedere that we just finnished last summer. Parents are having a great time showing it. I don't know if they get more fun showing it off or telling people their son's did it for them.
It only took my brother and I 5 years to get her done. Our next one is a sport fury hardtop which doesn't have near the rust and should be an easy one compared to this old girl. I think it will be way cool to have the 2 together at a show.

Location: Helena, Montana | Here are a couple pics of the before.
Dad hit a deer on his way back from a show. We thought we would have a quick easy fix, but found a mess. We decided to do a complete frame off. Needed floors, quarters, fenders and hood. It had a 70's 383 when we got the car so we changed it back to the 361 and cast iron torqueflite while we were doing it. And boy does she purr.

Location: Helena, Montana | Still working on the front lower valance. It was just as rusty as the rest of the car. Will have it on this spring. |
