LS7 62 Belair Bubbletop Update

[BLT2DRIVE]

I got 13,390 on the L S 7 since Spring. I added projector hid's with the angel eyes. Kind of holding off on progress, not wanting to pull apart for paint in the summer. 1) rear undertray to finish 2) keyless ignition,power locks and windows 3)lose the wing windows and install TL mirrors 4) A/C system, finish carbon fiber dash, frt fenders,and door skins 5) pull glass for paint and cage install......

Very cool car! I've seen the car the past few months at Calabasas Supercar Sunday, still haven't tracked you down yet though.

[SatisTraction]

the car is killer but i think the headlights take away from it.

[oestek]

The car looks great. You did a great job of changing the visual proportions to make the car look right. Awesome.

From the front view, I was kinda "meh" (think it's the dark headlights), but that back view sold me... the car is awesome.

[DJW32]

I like the carbon fiber front air dam/splitter. I saw this car at the john force car show on sat. very cool

[pro-touringAK]

Love it. Also like that Bently sitting next to it in the garage. Is it yours?

[Motown 454]

Looks good

[SaturnVUEguy]

Been saying it for a while, but I love the rear end of this car! Front end looks cool, but there's something about those headlights...

Sad part is, I'd almost rather have this than the Flying Spur in the 2nd pic

[Regan]

Wow, looks great. I really like the hood for some reason.

[BLT2DRIVE]

[cspengler]

This 62' Bel Air is the coolest I have seen with a LS7 in it.

[63SW]

NICE , some real nice mods there.
i would love to find a bubbletop to build.

[project hotrod]

Nice ride sir.

It reminds me a bit of a 61 I designed if I were to build one although I messed with the roof a bit.

LOVE that car!!!

very nice and very unique.. I liked it in tan too.. lol

[BLT2DRIVE]

I ran into Embo Bowland @ John Forces and he did a rendering for me.Kind of cool instead of a photo to look at. He brought it to the NHRA Twilight Cruise just a couple of days later. I'm pulling it off the road after SEMA to finish the fabrication and installations. Everybody seems drawn to the brushed and rolled finish, but i want to block the body out. (It's Rustoleum right over the bare metal,no filler or skim coats) I had rejambed it the 2007 Audi Deep Ocean Blue,but Mercedes Pewter was my other choice. By December I'll have to choose, Blue or Pewter? I'd like glossy but people overwhelmingly prefer it's satin finish it has now.I'm leaning toward glossy with satin stripes or highlights.....

Any insight as to how you made th cf inlet tube? with th 90 in it?

[BLT2DRIVE]

Any insight as to how you made th cf inlet tube? with th 90 in it? 4 " PVC from Home Depot,wrapped in carbon fiber. The air box is manilla folder paper sandwiched in c/f. The lid used the rim with the clips off a Ford Taurus($2 @ pick a part) cut out and reformed to flow to the 4" tube. c/f I get from Fiberglast in Brookville, Oh. I used epoxy resin followed by Dupont clear. (U V protection) Interior panels are 60 percent flatner.

[BLT2DRIVE]

Just turned over 15,000 miles since the spring. Off to EZ-Lube to change the Mobil 1. They can empty those 13 qts. way quicker and easier than me. Doing the T-56 and the rear too I guess. Blowing it apart after SEMA to cage it. Adding (subtracting?) Carbon Fiber door skins as well as front fenders to try to stay under 2900 lbs.

[BossaNova]

Unbelievable.
That front end is to die for. Awesome job.
