Engine compartment before. | |
This is what I took home when I bought the car.. | pretty basic huh.. |
Engine compartment as time moves on..... | |
As I have purchased a 327 for this car I have not done too much concerning the firewall/inner fenders etc.. | I forgot to paint the thermostat housing..oh well ..I will get it correct on the 327. |
Wheels before. | ||
The chevy caps look great on Chevy's. I had to get rid of them for the Beaumont though.. | ||
Wheels after. | |
The wheels still need to be repainted. I think though that for disc brakes I may need to go to a 15" rim....research in progress. |
Try finding these suckers! After about
two monthes of searching I finally paid the guy his $80. I then cleaned,
polished and repainted the centres. I bought repro hub caps to put the
centres on.
|
Interior before. | |
Too bad about that gold...It would look very nice with the proper exterior color...unfortunatly the only exterior color I like with the gold is black. I don't think I have it in my budget to get the body straight enough to pull off black though...so the interior is going black instead. | |
Interior after. | |
I have changed the package tray, armrests, ashtrays, dome light and given everything a good cleaning..none of this really shows up in the photos though so I'll post some after I go black. |
Trunk before. | |
Note the rags covering up the rust holes in the bottom of the inner wheel wells. The trunk brace to frame mount is also shot is has to be replaced. | |
Trunk after. | |
(nothing done yet except a little rust-mort applied where neccesary). |
etc...
