65 Beaumont Deluxe POS project
Permalink  

I thought I was done with restoring these things , but sometimes a challenge comes along and you cannot resist. I am going to see if I can build it for less than 5 grand cash outlay, I know my time and effort is a value but on this thing I am not going to count it. I have just about everything to put it back together from my spare parts collection. Its not going to have any trim or badges and will not be original by any means but it will be a solid decent car. I will also have to call upon my Sisters to donate their upholstery talents to help with custom interior, and a few contacts with other parts and such. Paid $2250.00 so far.

Well since you have most of what you need already, the only missing component is the labour to put it all back together. Since you are willing, I can think of few better cars to do than a '65 Beaumont. It sounds like you are resourceful so I think you can meet your goal.

You are going to keep us up to date on this project, right?  biggrin

You got that right Kelly I tried to purge myself of everything Beaumont but just could not toss it out. Then I finished the renovation on the shop and looked at all the space and realized I might grumble and complain about working on cars, but in the end, when its all done, its quite satisfying.

And this one is going to be more fun because it will not be restored to factory specs.
