I am somewhat new to the site and I thought I would share some pics of the project. It's not much to look at in it's current state but I am sure excited about what it will become. The original 330 engine was in pieces when I got it but I have since acquired a 71 455 and a TH350 to drop in. The engine is in good running condition just to be cleaned and painted with maybe some new gaskets here and there.

Sweet...let the 66 revolution begin

 

Looks like a fairly solid car to start with! Have fun! And keep us posted (w/ picts) That 455 should be plenty of power.

The car is very solid with original paint and interior. It needs some body work (including a new hood...do you have any leads on where to find one) and new interior but all the top is intact and has all hardware to rebuild it. I think it is a good foundation. I love what you have done with yours, I was checking out your pics and it looks incredible. Did you get it finished yet?

 

thanks not yet been cleanng up the shop and other things around the house that were neglected in the first part of the build.

Going to try to get a little done Friday since I'm off.

 

I have a nice hood, from desert SW. Let me know if you can meet in Abq or LV, NV.

 

sweet find!


i have a lot of 66 hardtop parts that might work.

lemme know if you need anything!

good luck!

Beautiful work.
So much precision and thought out very well.
Let me know when you are ready to work on another .

 

Since this is back to the top any progress to share Garlandl??


Thanks I will let you know

 

Good luck and welcome! Have a '67 myself and I do believe the 6's and 7's were the best looking! If you need brakework, my daughter works pretty cheap!
