Expert 5K+ Posts: 5006  | LolI know 75% are rolling their eyes... Its Probably gonna be red, but i was thinking black would be cool also... Bought a 58 Belevedere coupe 7-8 years ago? then ran into my 57 Dodge... So the 57 Dodge is almost done but got a super clean sedan body from John(thanks A TON!)... underneath is ready to go onto a clean frame so i have to cut up the coupe and take the roof off. The guy had replaced one rocker on the passenger side and the quarter panel looks okay, I might sell it off or use it for parts. Roof swapping looks "reasonable". I'm just trying to get this project buttoned up for winter(old body scrapped, no one on frame). Only one reasonable spot to repair on the new body floor... I will probably lean towards a 440 or a 413 if i can get it unstuck with 4 wheel disc brakes, I already have the 8.8 posi for it.

Regular Posts: 90 Location: Oklahoma | Looking forward to follow along! I also have a coupe that will only be good for a roof swap once I take all the parts I need. It rusted from dog urine, a lot of the horizontal metal is thin or rusted away.

Regular Posts: 90 Location: Oklahoma | I bought the Belvedere for my '57 Savoy hardtop. The Savoy was in a field for years and got picked over pretty good for parts. All the trim, some glass, hood, interior, etc. The exterior is fairly solid, needs floor and rockers though. The Belvedere was stored in an old rickety building. I think the dogs stayed on the roof mostly and relieved themselves on the hood and trunk. There was still a lot of fur packed into the crevices when I got it, probably what held the moisture.

Expert 5K+ Posts: 5006 | 2 door hard top support is out... getting the original one out will be interesting though from the sedan. The 57 sedan did not build the "web" on top of the wheel housing though so it might not be that bad. Its kind of empty up there so I can fit the 2 door hard top on it and weld it in.
