Welcome.... another 66 here

 

Welcome to our site! No fresh meat, we try to treat all with respect. No newbies, no Old Salts, just all Olds Enthusiasts.

 

Welcome. Those are some cool pics. You should put a drive train in that thing and drive it! Even if it doesn't have fenders.

 

Good luck and try to find a shop that won't put you at the back of the line and take months or years! I ended up doing my 66 myself even though I am not a body man either. It was a good chance to learn! Go onto ebay and get an assembly manual if you don't have one. With patience and a couple sanders from harbor Freight (I prefer 3M sanding stuff though) you can do it. Get a DA and an in-line sander (the latter to get the waves out if you use bondo). Your 3M or other supplier can sell you Z-grip etc. bondo.

 

thats precisely the look i'm going for my friend =) drop&wheels wooo!

sweet ride u have there!

i'm modifying mine to look the 67, with flashers between the headlamps & 4 tailamps in the rear.

but i'm loving the lowered height on yours!

 

Gearheads78, nice car! I have a 67 convertible and am trying to decide what type of wheels to put on it. I see you got some on yours what type, can you post a picture from the side.

 

thanks...I cheated just to have it look decent for Goodguys last year. I chopped the factory springs to get just the right look. I had to do it twice because the first cut was not quite aggessive enough. Took about 5 hours the first time do to never being apart. The second time only took about an hour.

 

It was just something I bought used that looked decent and fit the car OK for the same Goodguys show. They were Billet Specialties SLX wheels but I forgot the style number. I sold them about a month after the show.

New wheels should be here about 7-10 days. Watch my build thread for pictures of them.
