Just thought I’d share some pics of my dads 55 Bel Air..

As you will see he had it painted and also hunted long and hard for trim peices. he also had the upholstry totally redone, added powersteering, air conditioning and CD player..As you will see this was all done by adding a center console as to not tear into this classic..it can be removed with no evidence if desired.

That is a clean ride. Got a picture of the engine bay?

That thing is sharp! I also want to see the business end of that beauty (engine bay).

Make sure you let your dad know us Honda guys love his car.

Definitely a beautiful car. :thmsup:

And just look at all that shiney chrome... inside and out.

why the change in wheels?

Will do

why the change in wheels?

Just his personal preference

For those asking about engine pics..I'm getting some from the old man and will post them up

I also want to get some pics of his 67 Camaro to put up for viewing

Thanjs for looking!

Super nice. If he wants to trade for an 06 accord VP, let him know I am very interested.

I told my dad I posted pics of his ride and he told me he got new rims. In the pics those are cragars on the ride, he just got new rims - boyd coddington smothies, the one's in the pic are 15" the new ones are 17"

The car is a ground up restore - show car. it has a 350 pulling it and a 700R overdrive tranny.

Power steering, windows & brakes (disc front drum rear) & Magna flow exhaust. Stainless gas tank.

The paint job is sick.. the red is from Jaguars 2005 model year and costs something like $700 a gallon. The silver is actually a wheel paint, he choose this because on how much flake it has. The rear quarter panels were replaced when it was painted. The painter found too much bondo in those areas so he replaced them and the craftsman ship is flawless.

Funny thing, I told my pops I posted some pics up of his ride, he tells me about his new wheels and that he's selling the 55 in the next couple months...lol


He's going to take some more detailed pics for me to share..

mwmcginn: I told my dad about your offer, he said as much as he loves Hondas, he has to pass. But he did want me to tell you he put you first on the list of possible new owners if you are interested...lol
