OK, so I have a set of the SS seat brackets. When I mount the seat to them and then go to bolt them in, the brackets don't really line up with the floor seat holes. If I flip the SS brackets over (actually, flip them side to side) I can easily line things up with the floor holes. My question...

I am replacing the interior floor and the trunk floor of my 65 Belvedere I post car. I have all the AMD panels ready to go. My question is, after welding these panels in, what is the recommended seam sealer to use. This is a race car and not a restoration, so I am not worried about period...

Any suggestions for the best place to get door sills for my 65 Belvedere I 2 door post car? Mine are pretty terrible and the used ones I see aren't much better. I am almost tempted to try to make my own.

OK, I have a 65 Belvedere I, 2 door post car. It is basically a race car. I have recently taken the window glass out and replaced it with Lexan. The rear windows are permanently up, which is fine as there is no back seat. I want the door 'glass' to roll up and down without using the factory...

OK, I am getting rid of the column shift (automatic) mechanism on my 65 Belvedere. I currently have a Grant wheel on it and I believe it uses the #4310 Grant kit. I picked up a column from a 63/64 Dodge (B body). It was a push button shift car so the steering column was exactly what I was...

Ok, so this is what I have. I am the second owner of this 1965 Belvedere I base 2 dr post car. never been painted, sea green outside, 'Fawn' color interior. I am redoing a lot of things, but I just noticed something. look closely at the following picture. The interior is painted the 'Fawn'...

OK, so, I got a set of repro SS aluminum 65B body seat mounts, a set of repro Jeep seats, and two pair of adjustable seat tracks. This picture shows the seat without the adjustable tracks (yes, car is filthy!) My question is this, I am 6 feet tall, not a giant or anything. But with a...

Well, my slant 6 racing days are over before they even began. It is with heavy heart that I announce the death of the slant six in my 65 Belvedere, affectionately known as ‘Dragon’. A broken oil sensor wire and a leaking valve cover deprived it of enough oil to lose at least three rods and...

After installing E-body HD leaf springs on my Belvedere, I thought it still needed a little more lift. Since I was replacing the wheel bearings anyway, I decided to install an Add-a-leaf spring to each side. Holy Crap! It raised the rear by at least 2 inches! I will need to readjust the...

I went online and have been having trouble getting the correct axle bearing for my belvedere. It is the axle bearing by the wheel. I need to replace both sides but the online listings do not list them on the 8 3/4. Basically, I need bearings and outer seals (I just replaced the inner seals)...

UM.....I feel pretty dumb about this, but... Can anyone tell me what order the heater buttons go (top to bottom)? I sent my switch to Texas to have it rebuilt. I got it back and it is just beautiful. Now, I can't remember the order of the buttons. I think, top to bottom, it is Off, Defrost...

If it weren’t for bad luck… Finally getting the Belvedere back together after the brake melt down. Hoping for test and tune this Thursday at the local track. Car has been up on jacks for nearly two weeks. New leaf springs, shocks, all poly bushings, 3.55 sure grip added as well as...

This is really weird. I have been driving my slant six automatic 65 Belvedere around and it doesn't really seem that bad. I had a 79 Volare wagon with a slant six (2bbl) Automatic with a 2.9 rear and it ran pretty good, got great gas mileage (30 MPG). The thing is, the Belvedere would kick...

I was driving the 65 Belvedere to work today and I just realized that it did not have emergency flashers. No reverse lights either but that is obvious. My 65 Fury didn't have Flashers either ( I did put some on from a 66 Sport Fury). I know that my Belvedere had rubber floor mats instead of...

Anyone out there know the fuel tank capacity of a stock 65 Belvedere I 2 door? (My gauge isn't working yet)

I am probably going to jinx this but I am just happy to have gotten this far. It's been six years since I have driven this car without incidence. I just drove it 17 miles to work without smoke, steam, oil leaks, water leaks, ping, knock, slip, squeal, shudder, cracks, etc. Whew! This is my...

I have a 65 Belvedere, 6 cyl auto, 8 3/4 rear. Driveshaft has the ball and trunion joint on the front. I am swapping in a (1972) 400 B engine and 727 automatic. My question to you guys with a similar setup: what length driveshaft are you using? The car is a 2 door Belvedere I post car. I...

I have a 65 Belvedere slant six. I am swapping out the 6 cyl K frame for a V-8 K frame. I have the V-8 K frame but nothing else. My question is, can anyone post some pics of what the big block mounting brackets look like? I just want to know what to look for. -Matt
