Here are pictures of my 66. Again, not much of a project but I have lowered the front (remember the baja front guys...LOL) after installing an adjustable beam, added a roof rack, added triple chromed bumpers, YOM plates, pop out windows, vintage luggage and a bamboo under the dash tray. I have a correct small coil I am trying to find the time to install. Believe it or not this is an ebay car (matching numbers) that I bought site unseen (and proud of it). It has 90K original miles. Future plans might include more HP :shock: .

Again, I really like your 66 Ben. Are your hub caps "period correct" for a 66? I didn't know the engine bay was so clean. Very nice. :cool:

Thank you Bo. I am not real savy on "period correct" items so I cannot say either way if the hub caps are correct for my 66. Yea....the engine bay is very clean and pretty correct (especially once I add the new coil 8-) ).

I think once things get settled down around the new house, I MAY consider some changes. I really would like some additional HP, but not sure the budget can afford it after all of this new house stuff.

Based on our recent modifications, a new pair of carbs should be somewhere on your mod list! ;)

I heard that Brian has an extra set. The only problem is that they seem to be missing some key components. Wonder where they went ;) ????
