Tweet

Ok everyone knows i have a 54 plmouth belvedere. I was hopeing to start takeing it down to the frame so i can fix all rust and whatnot. im not going to do a frame of "restoration" just a complete rebuild to exactly what i want the car to turnout to be. If anyone has any suggestion on what to do and what not to do i would greatly appreciate any replys even if its good luck.

First off, what kind of engine are you going to put in there? Will it be the one it the car came with, something your going to build yourself or what? Also what kind of look are you looking for? Do you plan on just keeping the stock front and rear end or changing that out?

I love your attitude, dont be scared to do it! What i started doing it the bag and tag method. Lube the bolt, loosen the bolt, bag it, tag it and tape to the trim......fender.......whatever the part is. work you way aruond th car in this manner. I am self employed and understand the time issue so just devote a solid hour an evening and a couple of hours on the saturday. it goes by fast.

The only thing im gonna change really is less trim a body drop and air suspension but other than that i will leave most thinkgs stock. i really like how the car is and i dont see any reason to change something i like but i want to refurbish everything i hate haveing rust thats my main concern i want to take it down all the way.
