61 belair progress/build thread (lots of pics)

[gpw hatch]

this is a bunch of pics from start to most recent of the build of my 61 belair.

Car is being built at fuller hotrods downtown atlanta and has been featured 3 times on 2 guys garage. it started off as a 61 belair with a 400 c.i motor, cut springs and a flat black paint job.

the end result of the car will be a belair with a fully boxed morrison chassis, 572 c.i fuel injected gm motor, beefed up 4l85e trans, Qa1 adjustable coilovers, 4 link rear end, real rodder wheels, flat black paint job with all molding removed, and an interior designed and provided by oakley (yes oakley sun glasses). Oakley is debuting their new racing firesuit material soon and they wanted to use their material in the interior of my car :boobies: . sooo on with the pics

when i first got the car...

[WalkS]

Awesome work man! I always like those old bubble tops! Keep it up :goodjob:

[gpw hatch]

[EJ_Allmota]

[csmiths]

god damn parker, that shit looks good as hell. and that motor will be insane. but please more pics of pops ride

[gpw hatch]

just posted more. and by the way i cant take any credit really for the bel air. all i did was strip the car and put together simple parts i was just an intern at the shop didnt do too much fab work. and also all these parts for the car were free and if not free very very very cheap because of sponsors

[DieselNuts]

damn dude, you're doin in right for sure. You're dad's Nova is the sickness too. Keep up the good work man.

[Master Shake]

holy fuck dude.
car looked good when you got it, can't wait to see it done.
extremely nice.

[gpw hatch]

the 572 should put out about 700 hp, so ya that will be fun.

but i also know some people at turbonetics that tried to sponsor the nova and make a twin turbo kit for his car, and after a year i might try to get with them for some boost on the bel air... or i might try and get with pro charger and see if i can get a good deal from them

[Evil Goat]

thats great and all....but more shots of the family truckster please?

haha....novas pretty spot on man...nice stuff

[silversol]

so how much money do you have tied up in this project so far?

[2turbo4u]

[gpw hatch]

[bandydesign]

Wow, this is great man! I never saw your car. Its great that you got to work on the car over at Fuller's place. That is a dream garage for sure! When I get back to Atlanta, I wanna see your car!

[puregroove]

bel-air and nova are super nice.

[roche]

I remember rolling down to Import Alliance with you, how are the arms doing haha? This build looks sick, along with your dads car.

[gpw hatch]

arms are as good as they are gonna get... which is not very good, my right wrist has had 8 breaks and the last break on my left wrist really messed it up. i will eventually need surgery to correct everything.

the worst part is after about 30 min of turning wrenches the pain is pretty bad, but i will live on

[noridetoolow]

much the sickness! Wish i had half your disposable income! lol

sorry to hear about you arms! OUCH, what happend? If this has been covered before elseware then ooops on my part.

[psycho_freke]

Love the Nova! After seeing that, I'd love to see what the finished project with the bel-air is gonna look like! Nice swap on the eg hatch, too! Is that the C1 with a red valve cover, or is that the C5?

[gpw hatch]

welp broke my arms diving into a swimming pool lol i missed the pool diving from a 15 foot high back porch. and in the hatch is a jdm b18c

[wanggsticky]
