I am restoring / restomoding a '66 Belvedere II original Hemi car. I am just at the very beginning of the project and decided to get some renderings done to hopefully help keep me from spending money on too many mistakes and to serve as motivation to see the project through to the end.
The car was originally EE1 dark blue metallic. I like the color and am going to keep it that way. It also is came originally with both Bel II side trim and Satellite side trim. I am not that concerned with keeping it entirely original. I don't want to deviate wildly by tubbing it or anything but I don't want to worry about finding date coded spark plug wires either. I am doing this car for me and my Dad and I don't plan to ever sell it. I am just building it to enjoy driving, cruising, racing, and just staring at it.
I really like the idea of pro-touring and the look of most cars done in this style. I don't want to cut up this car though. I want to be able to change the wheels and slap on steel wheels and bias ply tires and compete in the F.A.S.T. (factory appearing stock tire) drag racing series
Please let me know what you think of the following renderings. Which trim combination? Which wheels? Ride height front and back? Emblems or no emblems? Other wheel ideas, etc.
