So the coupe is at my buddies shop where we are going to start on the intercooler but - after 5 plus years of searching I got lucky and found my dads 66 belair which was his first car . Hes been gone over 20 years now so to me this is the closest I can get to having a part of him with me . It’s about 80 percent restored / turned into a biscayne . Which is just minor differences .
It now has a 396 , th400 , 12 bolt . To say it’s still surreal is an understatement. I’ve already ordered 80-90 percent of the needed body and Interior stuff to complete it before I start my own touches to it . The end goals are - 540 BBC NA pump gas , 4l80e , vintage air , Baer brakes , torque thrust d wheels (possibly ) . Drop the front a touch . Bigger sway bars and rear arms . Low 11- high 10 sec cruiser . Last picture is summer of 84 when he owned it . It was blue but it had the horrible 80s respray it was flat ish and of course we don’t have pic quality like we do now.
