Hello 63 max wedge clone CANADA

[KyleN]

So as the title reads I have a 63 belvedere with a bored and stroked 440 dual cross ram. This was my dads dream car which he bought 10 years ago and recently passed away and gave the car to me.

I know a bit about the car and have restored cars before 2 trans ams (never had the money for a mopar) I have done alot of little stuff on this car with my dad but now that it is my car there are a couple things I noticed that need to be addressed

no back seat what so ever so if anyone has a back seat let me know

No speedometer

Lots of play in the steering wheel which it always had but my dad never really cared ( i find it frightening )

thanks kyle

Hey Kyle, I'm in orleans. We should hook up and take a look at the steering. Just went through the same thing with my 67.

Sure, but its in the garage for the winter and Im 90% sure it needs a steering box, and Im not sure I want to fork out 500 for a steering box until closer to spring.

Im is Kanata close to canadian tire center btw

 

[Bigal75]

Yeah I'm done for the year too. We can revisit this Spring. I have my old power steering box laying around. Leaks a little though.

Kyle sorry about he passing of youyr father. You have a beautiful car their. Welcome aboard FBBO. This car is very special, plus it's a gift from your father. I hope you cherish it.

 

[KyleN]

I always will until I give it to my daughter!

Check to see if you can tighten the steering play with the set screw and lock nut on top of the steering box. It is a long shot but "might" work to take out the play.

Welcome to the site! Nice ride you have!

Welcome to the site and sorry to hear about your dad's passing. That is a wonderful legacy car that he left for you. Fix it and show it....keep us posted....

 

[Moparsmitty]

Wow, your dad left you a really nice car. Hope you have a good time driving it and showing it off. It's possible that the steering box just need adjusted. If you can't do the work yourself, I would have a good local front end shop (not one of the chains) look at it. Good luck.

 

[KyleN]

Thanks,I have a good mechanic and I have restored a couple cars myself, I don't really plan on driving it much tho I have just sold a 1980 pace car trans am that I restored and he did leave me a 2005 srt10 ram as well and I have 3 other cars on top of that. So the plymouth is a car that meant alot to my dad and me and I just want to make it perfect and maybe drive a little better and maybe drive it once a month.
