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

after it sitting at the house for about a month we decided to do the complete build at the shop that i was working at in atlanta called fuller hot rods. we began by completely taking the car apart and putting on the rotisery







then the new complete rolling chassis came









chassis comes with wholes to route the exhaust thru the frame





572 c.i gm crate motor arrived
