Default 1966 Chevelle at the Roadster Shop

We are just getting underway on a 66 Chevelle for Mike, a new customer from the east coast. This one will be a cool blend of old and new. The plans are to retain the stock exterior look of the car, but go with the best of the everything under the car. Mike had a 66 back in high school, and wanted to re-create the car with modern performance and drive-ability. The original inline 6 that he had in high school is getting replaced with an 800 HP 572 with a T-56 behind it. The old frame will be replaced with one of our new Fast Track, Low-Profile Chevelle Chassis. The color will be the same Madeira Maroon that Mike's original car was with black interior. There are a lot of other details left to iron out and I'll keep them updated as we proceed. Here are the renderings that we have so far from Eric Brockmeyer.





The first car that Mike purchased and sent out to us was...... well, not much of a car left at all. After looking it over, it was decided that we should find a new candidate for Mike's project. This thing was to the point that there was not a salvageable panel left on it anywhere. Take a look.
