Sometimes you find a deal that is just impossible to pass up. Yes, I bought another one. Why? Great price and everything short of a total frame-off restoration already completed. It needs to have the chrome put back on and the interior redone.
Consequently, I am selling my red '57 Belair ASAP (http://nashville.craigslist.org/cto/3173821897.html) but I continue to tweak the basics on it. This week I am replacing the battery cables, exhaust manifold gasket and oil pan gasket. I may also do the rear main seal while the silver one is getting a good once over from Milestone Paint and Body.
I plan to pull the interior door panels from the red one and make some templates so that I can create new panels out of ABS plastic for the silver one. My goal is to do most, if not all, of the interior myself. Seatbelts are already on order (three point for the front). Looking forward to visiting my friend Jason who has offered to weld in the pillar anchors for me.
The best part of the red Belair has been the trip with my dad to buy it and joy rides with the neighbors. Looking forward to focusing on the new Belair.
