Default Got my 66 Flared Resto Mod Out of Paint Prison

Finally got my 66 Coupe back in my garage after being in body/paint shop for almost 8 months. I did have 1.5" Dynamic Corvette flares installed at the shop and they turned out great! Now it's assembly time and confirming new rims sizes/back spacing, new wiring harness/Dakota Digital analog LED gauges, etc......let the fun begin!

Looks like the paint turned out nicely.

A few other neat cars in that garage, Sir.

It's looking real nice. The '66 looks like it's in some real interesting company under the roof of your garage.

Very nice!! And the content in the garage doesn't look too bad either!

Glad to see another "hot rodded" Corvette.

Resale red always graces a scene so well. Like black on 30s coupes, its near magic. Great selection of rides within your second home. My personal favorite, although I may be in the minority, is the sixty six big block hood. Maybe the sixty seven variety is used so much it becomes common place. The fender extensions are hardly noticeable which blends well with the body lines. I missed the engine / trans combination. The LS series is popular addition and one of great selections available.
Nice projects !
