My car is almost 'done' after close to 4 years. I should have started a build thread for it a long time ago...

I've done everything myself except for the paint job, alignment, and dyno tune.

Car needed floor pan, firewall, trunk pan, frame rails, minitub, and tail panel.

I basically tore it down to a bare shell and rebuilt everything from there.

On the dyno it did 655rwhp, and 550rwtq.

For the little bit I've driven it (to dmv and alignment shop), its a pretty fun little ride....

We have been posting pics of a car that was mostly garage built on our Facebook page this week. It's a '66 Chevy II with our complete Street Machine chassis. It definitely leans more toward Pro-Street but it's still a really nice car. The owner did all the chassis, electrical, and body work. He had a friend spray the paint and his local upholsterer did the stitching.

Click Here To See The Build Album. More pictures will be posted as the week goes by.

You car is rocking my world! I have a 1970 Firebird in the garage with a '76 Formula hood, I hope my car ends up looking half as sweet as yours!!!
