Edit:before and after so far
Phase 3
Only had the car 3 weeks so haven't done much.
So far on the outside, I've put smaller ralleye center caps on it, waxed it and changed the antenna. And I have no pics of any of it yet lol. Well, here's after the wax anyway:
Inside I changed the rear speakers, with help from my daughter of course. Much louder now and clearer.
She absolutely loves the car. And for that reason I ordered a rear seat belt to strap her seat down. Rear seat belts were an option in 66, luckily original floors and the bolts were threaded right into them:
While the seat was out, was able to check out the wheel tubs. Everything looked good:
Under the hood, cleaned it up a bit and ordered the correct fan shroud and decal. Will be throwing that stuff on when it gets here. Ran the block numbers, apparently it's the "hi-po" 283 with a whopping 220 hp. But, it does have full dual exhaust, Holley 4 barrel and edelbrock intake so I'll say at least 2 fiddy now. It's actually not too bad even though it sounds horrible lol. Car should weigh around 32-3300lbs.
Went to a local show and took home a top 10 trophy, wasn't expecting it tbh.
