    Greetings!

    i am new to the site.......i have had quite a few ol' Chevy Wagons from time to time (65 & 74) here is my current one:
    1965 Bel Air
    Originally from Arizona (up until 3 years ago)
    327 (250 hp) w/ p'glide
    A/c
    (i coverted rear tailgate window to power)
    added vacuum guge (easy and neat mod - inexpensive)
    14x6 (got all five - but switchen to Cragars and WWW - keeping orig's)
    Painted bay area 2 tone (white / blue)
    as well as dash insert
    converted to 9 passenger - (i have kiddies and this summer will be a blast w/ the new back seat)
    new carpet
    next is headliner, seats and door panel sched. for feb-march '09
    she just turned 200k

    since the exterior pics were taken i have rubbed out the finish w/ 1800 and that made a nice difference
