Trans is a 700R, suspension is by air ride with Shock Waves and rack and pinion steering, QA adjustable shocks in the back. Frame is powder coated silver.

John,

You can upload them to a Photobucket.com account and then show them here like this:

Photobucket will re-size them automatically, so you don't have to worry..

Awesome! I too am restoring a 62 Bel Air bubbletop 409. Going with a 4spd. Say what rim size did you go with and happen to know the offset? What did you go with for brakes?

Very nice project. I can really relate to that last pic painting the floor pan on the rotisserie....

I could not stand the body up a fully on its side hence had to lay down to get the edges. I used a tintable clear bed liner called Raptor. Bought two kits and had one quart left after putting on two coats. Each kit makes one gallon and comes with the special gun needed to shoot the material.

The wheels are Foose 20x8 and 20x10, front tires are 245x35 and rear are 285x30. Not sure on the back space, will look for the paperwork on them and get back with you. To get more room I did modify the front fender wells cutting the outside roll out and welding in material to square the outside off. Brakes are Baer 13" front and rear.

Sorry I cannot find the paperwork that tells the back spacing on the wheels.

Back space should be 5" in the front with disc brakes and 5-1/2" in the rear. I am running the same size tires on 18's on my 61' Impala.

thanks tripower, I thought that was what they are but did not have the paper in front of me.
