So glad you're restoring this old gal. Some things are more important than resale value. I had a 61 Belair years ago with many of the same issues. Dad and I fabricated much of the floor pans, redid the interior, ditched the rotted original seats for better ones from a 62, swapped out the tranny from a donor car, put in a new idler arm and other front end pieces, rebuilt the rear end, etc. I drove that car for seven years before selling her. Dad's gone now, but seeing this brought back so many good memories.

In the late 60's as a boy our family had a used 1960 Impala and I vividly remember my father doing fiberglass work on the rotted floor pans. Seeing your bare floor pans was like being transported back 45 years! A few years later I recall my father having to pull the gas tank and once again seeing your trunk pan was like being thrown back 40 some years... I even remember how pink the gasoline was back then, it smelled soooo good too. I recognize the odd shaped fuel hanger pockets in your trunk as being the shapes I saw in our old Impala... Cool old Impala, that whole Lambrecht story is amazing.

This is one heck of a model kit. Always impressed by folks who can do this much of their own restoration.

Nice work so far but im wondering how much it cost to fix this to complete restoration, rock auto has just about every part ya need but that is so much rot id not even bother with it, but im ot a welder i look for a car that has no rust through at all but you cant know how bad the rot is until you get inside those areas right? keep up the good work .

Looking at the condition of the majority of these cars and what was paid for them, most people overpaid based on the energy of the crowd. I wouldn't have bought any of these let alone paid top dollar for a rusted out hulk!But either way great work on a true classic with great lines!

I admire your work! I have bought a 59 belair myself for restoration and your videos will be very helpful. I have noticed you bought the trunk floor in three parts. is there any idea behind that or could I buy it in one peace without any problem to fit it in? Sincerly Hans from Sweden

My dad drove for Estes Express lines and died on June 10, 2013 the day after school let out a 16 year old girl pulled out in front of him and he did everything in his power not to kill this girl sadly costing my father to lose his life. He went over a bridge into a swollen Creek and my dad drowned in the cab. He would have been 72 years old within 4 weeks and he was going to retire within 2 Months. 2 years before this I made him into a grandfather his only grandchild. My son was born 6:10 PM and my dad died 06-10-2013. We were building a 1981 C10 Chevy short bed stepside. I meet this guy who restored cars so I wanted to restore this C10 in memory of my father. 2 months past and I thought to see how things were coming along turned out the guy took my dad's truck to the junkyard 3 days after he came and got and sold it for scrape metal I found this out because a relative called and said why is your father's truck sitting here in a junkyard I said you must have been the wrong truck and low and behold there she sat on her rotors. I still have the title in hand and the owner of the yard won't let me get my father's truck back. These past 3 years has been a living hell. The guy who was suppose to restored it told me to go Fckmyself and I've done nothing wrong to had made this person to act this way towards me only knew him for about 3 weeks and the cops say there's nothing thing they do so I may have take it from n the rear and move on some AMERICA we live in. My fathers name was David Warren Stone put that name in your search engine followed by WRAL news and witness the day my hell began.

+Dave Stone Its cash value means nothing to me. I have no plans on ever selling it. Please watch the video on my channel from WHAS 11 on finding the love letter in the car. I am doing this for myself and the memory of the previous owner not for resale.

Still ongoing. Started the restoration 2+ years ago. Haven't totaled the cost in a good while. I fabricated most of the metal work to keep the cost down and out of necessity.
