Wow Jeff your car history sounds much like our 66. My father bought his 66 when it was a year old and still has it. I gave it a little pro touring treatment about 2 years ago after all the drag racing he did with it back in the day.
That is a beautiful color you picked and the wheels compliment it very well. These cars are really becoming popular even though it was a 2 year run with that body style. 66 & 67's are definitely my favorite from the Chevy II / Nova lineup.
Good luck with the tweaking
