I bought this 66 to daily drive and well... go figure it got out of control. I bought it in Arroyo Grande CA and tow bared it home to Orange CA. Ill post pictures of the progression from the day I bought it to its current state. The plan is to keep the body as original as possible, but dial in the chassis. Thanks for checking it out!

Got some radial white walls and some smoothies for it. I had to add a couple clips but they were in great shape after some paint.

Here are some of the blasted wheels. I also had a small leak on the oil cooler so I broke down some of the motor. I did a 12V conversion as well so I added an alternator stand.

Well, a $0.25 seal for the trans cooler turned into a body off restoration/custom. I wanted to run a link pin to go lower so brought the bottom part of the bulkhead up. I also took off the bottoms of the rear floor area. I didn't have my bead roller at the time, so I added flared braces to give it a little structure. Off to Linex to coat it and back for reassembly!
