My 1966 Chevelle Project

You gonna drive this one?

I posted it on Facebook and other places. Had time to kill and posted it here :slight_smile:

Common? There aren’t a lot of 66/67 Chevelles around the area. Honestly hard to find. Plus this one isn’t going to be stock

The 396 is getting built. It’s a 360hp factory, but we’re adding some toys to it.

Yes. And my dad is driving it too since I’m keeping it at his house.

Been driving and enjoying the Chevelle for the past month. Drives amazingly good for a 48 year old car. It’s amazingly clean with all original panels, no rust, and little or no body filler. Rare for a car that spent it’s entire like in Maine or New York.
We replaced the slipping Powerglide with a Turbo 350, installed a Hurst QuarterStick shifter, and replaced the original bench seat with a pair of 2010 Camaro cloth bucket seats. We also POR15 the underbody and cleaned out the engine compartment.

Working on the wish list for the build. Working with some great partners on the build too. And now have some friends building cars to unveil at the Buffalo Motorama alongside of my Chevelle in March 2014.
Going to start tearing it apart September 1st after it’s last show, the Olcott Beach Car Show on August 31

Working on a page for the Buffalo Motorama website, but you can follow the build here:

Here’s how it looks now:

This site doesn’t get a ton of reads for classics cars, so instead of duplication of threads, here are 2 links with constant updates for the SiniSSter Chevelle project. We have less than 6 months to complete and in just 3 weeks we have gotten a ton of work done already:
