Hey guys,
Everyone loves a big Chevrolet, and I've been itching to find some thing decent as my first old 'bomb' restoration project. I say 'restoration', but thats a pretty loose term, I really mean getting something that doesn't need too much work, back to roadworthy, driving it a bit and then passing it on. I've come across a 64 Chev Belair with a 350 and 2speed auto for less than 5k, last rego'd 18mths ago. Haven't seen it yet, may be worse than it sounds, but only rust (i'll believe it when I see it) is in the boot and bonnet. Not sure on interior, supposedly mechanically its OK, but no doubt needs some work. Are these things too old and too difficult to get parts for? Any reason a newbie wouldn't fix something like this up instead of ax XC/XD (other than the fact its not a Ford!). Shame its so big though, I live up a right of way. Might be fun moving it around.  Advice appreciated.

Is a Chev Belair OK for a newbie to the car restoration scene?
