63 Belvedere 426 A,B or possible Super Stock.
The car show seen was getting old and so I started this build to feed my addiction for the need for speed. The virus has tempered my enthusiasm but one could say I'm in it to win it. Not an avid contributor on class racer but I will update periodically with pictures.

I drove a 1963 Plymouth Belvedere two door hard top in college so I have a real soft spot for them, Please provide plenty of photos.
Thanks! |

More pics coming. Not much to add. Motor is a combination of John Shaul, Steve Wann, Don Little and Motech Performance. Strange Engineering Shocks, spool, and axles, complete Caltrac suspension,Performance welding headers, Protrans. and Wilwood brakes. All of the above are on the car. Next step in the build is to finish pluming brakes, and fuel system. When it it’s all said and done, I will always remember the first words out of my wife’s mouth when I brought the car home, “I thought you were finished with cars”. I don’t remember saying that.

You’ve got the right people involved, that’s for sure. You bought the engine from Steve? I’ve seen it up close. You’ll be all right!

Almost. Sold a set of number correct 63 heads off the car when it was a street car at spring fling and contacted John for a replacement set and one thing led to another. Steve picked up motor and heads at Indy and brought them to Socal where Don did the heads and Steve did the final assembly. Ken Etter is helping with the final assembly. You may have seen the motor at Steves place however it has been some time since he finished it.
