About My Ride:
My '66 Chevy panel which I've had since '92. Originally painted Chevy red, I had it painted yellow at Earl's back in '94 so people would mistake it for a Helms truck. Being an Earl special, it's now faded, rusty and ragged looking, which is cool with me. I swapped out the painted front bumper and steel grille for a chrome bumper and aluminum grille, and I had the back bumper chromed. (Seems the original panel back bumper is hard to find since they usually got swapped out for a step bumper.) It still has the mostly original unrebuilt 250 straight 6. I've changed the one bbl. Rochester over to a 2 bbl. Holley-Weber with a Hellings-style aluminum air cleaner from Stovebolt, power steering and brakes (drums all around), lowering springs from CPP (3"-4"), Hellwig sway bars front and rear from J.C. Whitney, and KYB shocks all around. It currently rides on 235-60 BFG T/A's in front and 265-60 Woosangs in back, mounted on 15X8 primered Chevy steelies with '66 Nova dog dish caps. I also have another set of stock 15X6 steelies painted blue with Futura wsw tires, 215-75 in front and 235-75 in back, which are seen in the photos. Interior has a Classic Autosounds stereo head unit and kick panel speakers, split bench and steering wheel from a '92 Chevy 1500, Nissan KingCab jump seats in the back, B&M Quicksilver shifter with a cast aluminum knob from So Cal Speed Shop. No heater or AC and only a driver side sunvisor. Next on the agenda: a new exhaust system. (Update) As of September of last year I finally added a new exhaust system, from manifold to tailpipe. I also had a new custom made radiator fitted to the panel, and last but not least, a new (to me) steel grill off a larger series Chevy. This one has no gridwork, just an opening with a red bowtie in the middle. I replaced the Nova caps with the original painted caps with the red centers to compliment the grille. Pix coming soon...

Welcome! Nice '66 Chevy! Thanks for joining. The site is brand new and I am in the process of gathering more members. If you have friends relatives etc. that have some cool trucks, hotrods, ratrods, or vintage wheels they want to post send them this way. The site will hopefully continue to grow and I will update it with news and info when I get it. If you know of upcoming events feel free to post in the events section. Please send more pics (see add photos on your page) and I will add them to the featured list. The site makes it a great way to keep photos of work in progress and to have before and after pics that you won't lose because they will be on the net!
