    I dropped off my Belvedere wagon to my buddy so he can do a complete floor replacement. In the past few weeks I've added larger magnum 500 wheels and tires in the rear and found an old set of traction bars in my parts pile. Also tested an old hot rod tachometer I will be installing later on. I'm giving it that old 60s dragstrip look. Pics will come soon.

    Ok so the floor isn't as complete as I thought. It's the complete front and middle. I need to buy the rear pans.

    It looks like the rear floor pans will have to wait. Everywhere is out of stock. After the front and middle floors are done it's off to get a new dual exhaust.

    Did you get a kit or are they bending it from scratch?

    It's a one piece stamping.

    Nice! Did you order it? Or is the exhaust shop doing that?

    Oh, I thought you were talking about the floor. No my good buddy owns the show and will custom make the exhaust himself.

    Hahaha I'm sorry, didn't mean to cause any confusion.
    That's great. I love a good custom hand bent exhaust system.

    I got it back. All floors are done. Monday it's going in for a new dual exhaust. Slowly turning it into a 60s style drag car. (In looks only)

    My buddy is almost done with the dual exhaust. Either today or tomorrow. I can't wait to hear it (and not smell fumes while driving it unless the windows are open.).
