Default Progress pics. 66 coupe

I did as much as I can on the chassis. No it's not an NCRS resto. This is a driver for me. The body is ready for it's last sanding. It should be done in a few weeks. If I have the time to get the doors gutted and paint the body It will go home till I'm ready to but it back on. Now all I need is my motor back from the machine shop so I can put that together and fire it up before the body go's back on. Wish me luck. Brian G.[IMG][/IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG]

Orig. color Laguna blue. After looking at some forum members cars that are this color I started to like it. So blue it is. Motor is a 327 with Dart 180 heads. Intake is a crossram sidedraft weber setup. Ala Grand Sport style.
