I called you about the car last summer and you arranged a time to come look at it on a Sunday morning at your (parents/grandparents) house in Smyrna. I showed up at the arranged time, no one was there and you wouldn't answer calls. Fairly sure I'm not making that up.
Not trying to be an...
Love this car. Randomly talked to a guy at the bar last night with a very similarly styled 66' belvedere post car (white paint, white steel wheels, etc). I saw it parked outside and quickly narrowed down who it had to belong to. He had a 472(?)ci wedge in his; sounded nasty when he drove off...
It really depends on the size and offset rim you are installing the tire on, but it looks like the general opinion is around 255. I'd browse around in the wheel and tire forum - there are plenty of posts concerning this question over there...
I saw a 66-67 B-Body roof on craigslist located in Springfield a couple weeks ago; I think he was asking about $200. Unfortunately, no one, to my knowledge, makes a new replacement roof skin for the the 66-67.
edit: here's the ad; has some surface rust, but maybe worth looking at, depending...
I wish it was mainly pinholes! :rofl: It's a little more extensive. After discovering how bad the roof really is, I'm just surprised that the floors aren't worse. Only holes are right around where the driver and passengers feet would be.
I think it was another poster that said it could be done for $400, not me. Unless you knew someone, I don't think you could find someone to do it for that little. I too would be a little wary about quality of work when someone was doing it for $400. The guy that I am talking to thinks it will...
I'm probably going to have someone else do it, whether he is doing the skin or entire roof. I'm not experienced with this stuff and I feel this is too critical of a body repair to learn on. Far too great a chance of mangling some stuff and ending up in a worse predicament than I'm in right now...
Well, the vinyl is all the way off the car and I have uncovered a horrific mess; holes everywhere and generally unsalvageable.
I have sourced a '66 parts car that I can get for about $900 (has a bunch of stuff I can use in addition to the rust-free roof). I've also gotten in touch with a...
Didn't get around to working on the top this weekend; but the car is in the carport now! I am beginning to think that i might just get all the rust out and then fill it then throw a new top on it. I think the benefits to doing the roof skin swap are probably limited for what this car's purpose...
Thanks for the responses guys! Makes me feel better about the situation already. I'll probably start tearing off the vinyl this weekend if I can get the car into my garage (need to find one more tire to roll it).
I've already found a guy that could possibly have a donor roof skin. If I...
Convertible...I know right!
As far as the work, it would probably be half and half. I could do the cutting and prep if I was to replace the skin, then likely take it to someone to have the new metal fitted and tacked on. If I was to repair what's currently there, I'd likely take it to someone...
First post but I've been lurking here for a while. I recently picked up a '67 Belvedere II 4 bbl 318, 727, 8 3/4 car. The car is straight with some minor surface rust here and there, about what you'd expect from a car that has spent quite a few years in the elements. Haven't been able to fully...
