Beautiful 66 SS
You're one of the rare few that had something nice when younger and kept it?
Yup, kept it through the years.
Was in barn storage for 19 years till I pulled it out (1999) and I started going through it. In all honesty, if I had known what effort it was going to take I would have let it go. But a person starts picking at it and before you know it you're up to your neck. (I think we are all familiar with that concept.)
The engine was pulled and overhauled, The interior was gutted and replaced with factory original reproduction materials. Wire harness replaced. Suspension system updated. Guage package added. Paint. Factory tach added. etc. . . I tried to keep it as original as possible, the shifter is a Hurst though and not factory.
I probably put 500 miles a year on it now. This year I put a new headliner in and next year I plan to go through the brakes. As we all know we are never done with restoration projects, for they are all simply, "works in progress". I would rate it a "3" on a scale of 1 -5, 5 being the best.
