Most of you have seen my car from other forums, here is a summary at sr.
I got the car roughly a year ago and cannot not drive this car when weather (and mechanics) permit! Its a base 66 500, orig a 289 car the previous owner stuffed a 390/c6 out of a t-bird in it. Now I have a 428 cj motor/c6, the 8" diff has been replaced with a 9" & torq-loc 3.50 diff. The car is in body & paint now and will be Wimbledon white like the rare 66/67 427 'lanes.
it sat in a field north of Denver for about a decade, luckly this toothless hillbilly left the windows down! We also had to evict a family of racoons from the trunk(sorry again)
Out with the old 390 in with the CJ!
Swapped the stock diff for the much stronger 9" and also re-fit rear susp with poly bushings
The exterior was pretty decent until I had some bad luck with broken studs on the left rear wheel. O well in about 3 weeks she'll be back and CLEeeeeeeeAN!
So there's a quick summary of the ole 'lane! Pix up later next week of progressing bodywork/paint!
