Finally, 1966 Belvedere Inaugural "Around The Block Drive"

[Udderchaos]

I hope this is in the right thread.

Yesterday my buddy and I took the Belvedere around the block for a test drive. I laughed like a little school girl. What a blast. We got a "thumbs up" from a feller sitting in his Sebring along side the street(I'm sure he heard us long before he saw us). And a long stare from a couple of teenage girls. Somewhere along the short trip we got this bright-a$$ed idea to see if the Belv would do a rolling burnout. We thought it was the stall speed letting the car rev, and we thought the cloud behind us was just exhaust. We were wrong. We left two 30'-40' strips of rubber in the street(Had to break in the new tires). Not too bad for a 25 mph rolling burnout. Since the engine is still not broken in, we didn't want to get too wild.. It's been a while since I was last in a car that begged to be played with... Now to put it on an alignment rack...

This pic has the old rear tires on it. 275/60/15's are squeezed in the wheel wells now.

At this time, it's more of a "Frankenstein" living. Awkward, makes lots of noise, scares women and children, and not the prettiest one around. But, it IS living.

Same here. That first laugh comes as the vehicle leaves it's "nesting" spot it has sat in for umpteen days/months/years. And yes, that smile stays on for a few days after the first run.

That's what's taking so long with this thing. I pay for everything it needs with cash. And yes, when the first person we saw gave on the maiden voyage gave us a thumbs up, worth every penny and hour..

Thats a beautiful car there, that shade of blue fits perfect with the body style! Nothing like that trip that seems to be forever getting there is there! I don't use or even own a credit card myself, sometimes it gets frustrating waiting on things but the best part is, its a done deal, payed in full, MINE when the waiting is over lol, i find myself selling things to keep the ball rolling when i can, If you can please, post some more pictures, great looking ride!
