'62 Belair yard find

[w00dst0ck]

Randomly found a scrap yard outside of Austin the other day. Guy has a ton of classics. ...And nearly all of them run.

Anyway. Ended up taking home a '62 Belair. 327/glide, factory air. Had been parked for a while, but started right up. Factory AM radio works, and the factory air even works! I scored big time on this wagon.


About 15 mins later back at the shop.


Then we started messing with wheels. I'm in love with the 5th gen SS wheels on this car. Just waiting for spacers to come in.





Spent a few hours cutting the front springs (2 coils). Shocks were toast, so picking up new KYB's tomorrow morning. Naturally the sway bar end links snapped, so new poly end links.

Car has some rust, and a bad floor pan. New pan will be here tomorrow, along with some new carpet. This gives me something to do while I wait for my PB rear kit to show up for the '65.
