More pics

I appreciate the warm welcome.  zzeby, all I really need is a center console that I can fix up, otherwise I just about have my needs list covered. Thanks for the warm welcome.  I will try to post some pics.  I need to find a new server to keep my build pics on since Multiply is closing down.  I have to try to get all my data off their by year end.

I am blown away by the overall package you have created.  Keep the pics coming!

$4.09 - $4.49 in my area near Vancouver, WA.

Thanks for tip on the paint application, I think I will pay someone to spray mine when the time comes.  I painted my old Buick GN black and it turned out ok but I don't trust myself with the metallic paint yet and really want this one right.  I hope the car I am building is really one I keep til I croak.

What events do you plan to attend with the Nova?  I am just curious how often the beast will see the street and track.

I just need to post some more and earn my pic posting privileges.  Oooh, this post counts!  Glad to hear this is a mellow group, sites where people disrespecting each other get old real quick.

Hey everyone,  I live near Portland, Oregon and have been doing a frame off build on My 66.  I had a 10 second 1/4 mile street 85 Monte Carlo for many years and finally decided to build a 1966 Chevelle like I had in High School.  What started as "just put the Monte running gear in the Velle and drive it" went sideways when I found some body rust and couldn't ignore it.  I am building it entirely the way I want it and taking my time.  I will get it togethr for next summer and drive it in primer until funds allow for paint.  The list of my mods is huge so here is a quick list of what's in it so far.

Detroit speed front suspension with splined sway bar.
Currie track 9 custom rear set up with N case locker and 3.50 gear.
Kore 3 Corvette discs all around.  
Strange double adjustable shocks all around and Budzster rear coil adjusters.
740HP Roots Blown SBC with dual 1150 Dominators.
TH400 with brake and Gear Vendors OD.
Working on custom dash with full rack of Autometers now and wiring the car.
Powdercoated frame, Lizard Skin and Wurth underbody sealed.
That's enough for now.  I can't post pics since I am new so pics will have to wait.

The headliner looks awesome! I think the Ginger Ale paint looks more gold in the sun than silver, did you stick with the stock paint blend?  Many Ford Flex for sale ads say gold color when they are Ginger Ale.  Let me know if I am missing something?  

I will post some info on my build in an intro post. I don't bring down the quality of this thread with my junk .

I was excited to find this thread since I was considering painting my 66 Chevelle the same color.  I pulled up behind a new Ford and said hey, that would work!  Please keep the pics coming!  Let me know if you ran into any surprises with the paint.  I am humbled by your abilities and quality of work.
