I began working on the core support. The bottom flange that mounts to the frame is rusted through. I have to cut through two layers and create...
I think it came out pretty good too! I have many small areas of rust that will need to be addressed, but one step at a time. I've thought about...
Quick update. Still waiting to have the new large compressor wired in, but I'm able to use my small compressor in the meantime. I've started with...
Haha. I do have my parts car. Once I get what I need off of it, you're welcome to snag a few things. All depends what you need.
That would be perfect! When you get a chance, could you send some photos?
Fenders, doors and tailgates. I had the tailgate from the parts car blasted as well, it's hiding underneath the D/S fender and core support....
Got the car back on Thursday. Came out pretty clean. He had some trouble cleaning up underneath so the frame isn't as clean as I'd hoped and the...
I've disassembled all I can. Loaded up the car and all the panels. Early tomorrow I'll leave to drop the car off for media blasting. It's going to...
Made some more progress yesterday. Front end completely removed. Took off some odds and ends as well. Trying to strip as much off of the body as I...
I'll keep an eye out for a regulator. I'll have to take a look and see if I have an ashtray. I honestly don't know. haha.
Not right now. I've only got one set. But I may be picking up another set soon. I'll let you know.
Not much to speak of in the way of progress lately. But much more soon! Started pulling the front end off the car. I'll be dropping it off...
That would be great! Thank you!
You are so lucky you have both of the rear fin trim pieces. I cannot for the life of me find a Lh side. And if, after you've got what you need,...
Ah, my mistake. I read that wrong. Have you checked with Ecklers, Classic Industries or TruckandCarShop? I think it was Ecklers I was looking at...
Here are the tailgate moldings. https://www.ebay.com/itm/184191802890?hash=item2ae2afde0a:g:VAAAAOSw6NNeWtKh
This doesn't have the short piece to connect the quarter and door. But one of the pieces you're missing....
Engine is looking real good! I'm excited to get my 348 rebuilt to go into my 60. I also need rear fin trim, for the LH side. If you locate more...
Hows the car coming along? Perused through the thread. Glad to see you were able to find some patches. I had a fair amount of trouble locating...
It certainly is a better start. I'm much happier with it. I was a bit uncomfortable with state of the other car. Car 1 was built in Missouri. Who...
The BelAirs are such cool cars. I'd love to get a 59 one day. They make some repo stuff to repair the wheel well area if you haven't looked.

For a long time I wanted a Muscle car, thought the early 60's full size Chevy's were cool, but were out of my budget. A 70 Elco filled the need 14...
No worries about Impala bobs. I found lots of sheetmetal parts on Ecklers website, they have front and rear sections of the quarters, inner and...
And I really appreciate the help! I think the guys name is John, on the site his name is "Mr. Fin". He hasn't been able to decipher the ACC codes...
Great info Bowtie Coupe! This confirms much of what I was able to find and provided additional info. I did not know that the production numbers...
Thanks! I'm anxious to dive into this project. It's going to be a hell-of-an adventure. Is your brother on the HAMB as well? I'd be happy to see...
It states its the two tone color but is usually redundant because the number denotes it. However, it doesn't match up with the paint code. This...
