Okay, we have all heard the term "make a silk purse out of a sow's ear"? Well, here is the epitome of that! This 66 Chevelle was not a nice car, it did not have "good bones". It had none of that. Wound up cutting off and replacing the whole back half of the car. All that was remaining was a pair of frame rails, that were bent and I had to straighten them. Anyways, the only panels that we salvaged was the roof and doors. All the rest got replaced. Then of course the owner wanted it black! Didn't scare me though. So with a new, refurbished body, trim and brightwork, here it is. Really turned this baby around! It is on it's way now to have a new stroker engine put in to it and then to the upholstery shop for the interior. Then the owner will be tearing up the streets this summer. Saved another classic car!
Well, did some work and changes on the Corvette this winter and needed a break from the world and Dave Monell has been begging me to bring one of my cars down to Florida to play so I did. Immokolee and Bradenton are an hour from him so I figured it was a no brainer. Lol. Friday night test and tune at Immokolee right off the trailer went [email protected]. Pretty happy. Breaking the clutch in so reset the clutch and went back out, let it go, left hard, 5.67@121 again but all over the track then had a hairy ride in shut down. Come to find out a control arm broke off the frame on the front end so that ended the night. Went back to Dave's house and he scored a welder and we got it fixed the next day. This video is from the first pass at Bradenton Motorsports Park. Man, what a track! Went 5.68@121 again in the high heat and humidity. Wound up going to the 3rd round when the gremlins raised their ugly head again and the car was flooding out. Something in the barrel valve messed up so I have a new one being shipped to Dave's house here tomorrow so we can fix it then back to Immokolee this weekend for a double header!
