    My 67' Belvedere 2 Rebuild

    It's been two years this coming month since I started replacing the torsion bar anchor and redid the brake lines. She had a tired three eighteen, so I replaced it with 440. Dealing with a dishonest machine shop, whose ad claimed they knew MOPARs. I trusted them, big mistake, they carelessly...

    Sorry I haven't kept up here but I haven't touched her since last March

    And why I haven't worked on it I got the block back from the machine shop who did some work, the shop two hours away from here. They cleaned the block and replaced cam bearings. I trusted this guy as the owner was a former Mopar dragster owner plus owning several Mopars as stated in the internet...

    Well Belvedere You Have Gotten Me Into Another Fine Mess

    Yeah I know don't buy the cheap reproduction parts off evil-bay. The torsion bar cross member has been a pain from day one. I never opened the box for three or four weeks. I looked good once I did. I worked diligently cutting the floor away just to get it between the rockers. Once I had it just...

    67' Faux GTX

    Ya, I know funny well this Belvedere is slowly coming along. I painted the engine compartment and the bottom of the hood over the past two weeks. Right now I'm cleaning and painting the front suspension parts and underhood brackets and related assemblies. As always well-advanced planning never...

    This is an ongoing project so last week I repainted the engine compartment and underside of the hood paint match is fair but it's the engine compartment.

    Project is at a stand still machine shop screwed up

    I picked up the bare block after having new cam bearings installed but when I got home the cam wouldn't turn and I had to pry it out of the block. I took it back two weeks ago and haven't heard anything. I know they do a lot of commercial engine work so that's why I trusted them. I guess I'll...

    Just relearned why a used radiator is no bargain

    Bought it an hour from home nice and straight unit with only one lose frame bracket. So I bought two bottles for CLR (calcium lime rust cleaner) and with a bargain-priced fluid pump that ran off my drill, I ran it for several hours after it sat soaking all night. I took it to the local shop and...

    Power Steering Pump Shaft Seal

    I'm cleaning resealing and painting the pump today. I worked on Chrysler products in the seventies and removing the old seal was a chore in its self. Use an eighth inch bit and quarter-inch self tap screws. Drill two opposing holes in the metal part of the seal. Threading the screws in the seal...

    67' Beleveder 8 3/4 third member replace

    I'm not happy but I installed a used 3:26 ratio unit this week. Right now I'm having to order a pinion seal on line as three local suppliers can't find the right part or didn't supply that part. This was the result of having the one I had rebuilt two hundred miles and twenty months ago. The shop...

    Bought A Car

    Was looking for a 64' Polara, but after looking at two junks, it was not to be. All other one's I saw, were in far better condition, but where out of my available funds. Found this 67' Beleveder a couple hours away, grandma's car. Her brother put half quarters on here some twenty years ago, and...
