Just some additional work.
Mounted wiper motor on custom bracket.
These motors only turn 90 degrees back and forth, unlike current wiper
motors that turn 360 and the linkage does the 90 back and forth motion.
Work on the door buttons.
You push the button to open the door, original was plastic and the escutcheon trim set would cost about $500 on ebay... 
I used antler burr for the buttons and a combination of a desk wiring grommet and pieces of the rosewood.
The antler door pull was a nice touch

Belvedere? The basis for the Roadrunner and GTX. Great looking car!
The before pic looks pretty crunchy! Nice save.

Satellite with 318, I also had a 1968 GTX with a 440.
I had the '69 for a year and it was hit 9 times, totaled 3 times...
It was cursed. |

Sounds like my 63 Falcon. Got hit 3 time while it was parked. I loved that car but it was just not meant to be,
