Default "66 Survivor Progress














Here's the progress so far. Hard to believe it was only 4 months ago when I brought it home. Today the engine fired up and ran great! Next the body comes inside. That'll be the project for the winter and I plan to drive it by Spring!

Great thorough job my friend ! Isn't this the '66 427 coupe that was advertised (maybe on Craigslist) with just a couple of photos where it was wedged in a storage unit ?

Greetings from a fellow survivor.

Excellent progress and nice work.

I am at a similar stage with my body on a newly restored chassis and drivetrain.

My car is now at the painter having its original maroon painted for the first time since it left st. Louis.

Record progress,looks great, I noticed that your antenna appears to be on the right rear which I believe is incorrect.

Default Antenna
Congrats on the progress. It looks great. Is the car a radio delete? Is that an antenna on the right side of the car? Before the commencement of paint, it may be a good idea to check its location. Jerry
