Beautiful car!

Rear rims are a little too large for my taste... but I love everything else.

Looks awesome! I like all the moldings on the car; rockers, drip rail etc. classic look. :thumbsup:

I said it before and I'll say it again. I appreciate all the body mods that guys do on classic and the workmanship for sure. But there's something about a stock looking car with all the trims and modern amenities that just does it for me. This car will never go out of style or getting dated. Any time you want to update it, all you have to do is change the wheel and it will always look fresh. That thing is beautiful. The colors compliment it very well. LOVE it! Enjoy it and be proud! :thumbsup:

After waffling back and forth between '66 and '67, I think the looks of the '67 are my favorite...

...but this car is FANTASTIC! Very nice!

Great stance. Car looks great.

What's the story with the Mustang in the background? Would love to see what you guys do with a Mustang!

Do they build Fords there? :lol:

I will add some pics and details on the Mustang into our Shop Projects Build Thread later on today along with a few other projects that have been going on.


Yeah, we actually have a few Fords going on here. *A few Mustangs, a Fairlane, a few Hot Rods, and some guy even dropped off a Torino if you can believe that!

Thanks Al. I agree that this car will definitely appeal to a much wider audience than some of the more modified cars that we have built. It is still a classic Chevelle with a ton of attention to detail and a lot of subtle refinements.

Please don't tell me that Mustang is waiting on spindles...

Matt

Good guess. No production or delivery date available, so we are cleaning up the originals, which were luckily in good condition to start with.

Very Nice.Classic styling.Spot on.:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

SHE IS DONE!!! Waiting on delivery.

I have already said it before but WOW!

Hay question I just realized that it does not have a/c? How come?

When a car is this cool.It doesn't need A/C.:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

The dash for a 66 with ac has two large vents in the middle and 2 large hole vents on corners. I didn't like the way that looked. I wanted to stay as original to the car build code as i could.

It is a Malibu V-8 manual w/o AC, Factory Color Madiera Maroon with black interior. (Only thing not per build code is I chose buckets instead of bench)

Plus I live in CT and for the 2 days it gets hot enough here to have the ac on I will just deal with it. Lol.

Plus I think with no ac it keeps the motor clean looking. No clutter!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :cheers:

Really, really nice car, you should be proud!!!:thumbsup:

Very cool build. Clean and Classic. :hail:

If you don't mind my asking what brand serpentine pulley setup is that?

It's a very cool car. It was fun to shoot. Boy does it sound narley, in a good way.

Just absolutely spot on!

Another nicely done car.

Goddamn. I need to have an RS-built car someday. Time to start saving pennies!

It looks great all together. Beautiful job!

Thanks, it is a Billet Specialties Tru-Trac Serp system.

Thanks again for all of the great responses on Mike's Chevelle. It should be on its way to the East Coast at the end of next week. Mike plans on hitting some of the God Guys shows out east to get some exposure and have some fun with the car. We are trying to twist his arm and get him to bring the car back out for Columbus. (any peer pressure would be great:unibrow: ) Sorry Mike, just gotta give it one last shot!

I dont think pennies wil get it done , think more like quarters and silver dollars .

Gages
 

After the guys at the Roadster shop got some drive time on the car they realized while the stock gages looked good and worked. The gage ranges would not work for the hi performance engine that is in the car. So they added some time correct after market gages to monitor the engine the correct way. Nailed it. I was worried that the gages would standout and just look out of place but as always the Roadster Shop never fails to impress.

What he said!!!!

And having just recently sold the Camaro and picked up an ultra sano 67 Chevelle.... You are REALLY getting my brain 'pumpin!!!

Very nice car, and again, i love the simplicity of it over all the doodas some are trying to pull off just to be different, not that its not cool, as its what drives the hobby, but you just cant beat a '' Pumped up'' Classic in my book.

Lead.

Wikd 66
 

I finally got the got the car. I have been to two car show so far and won Grand Champion at local event and "Slick 60's" at the Good Guys Eastern Nationals. I took a trip with the Chevelle and put it next to my dads 66 GTO and took some pics. Notice we have the same licence plate. You judge which one is the real WIKD 66!

Update
 

Well sorry I haven't posted anything on here in a while I have been pretty busy enjoying the car. I wanted to share a couple of pictures with everyone and give you some updates of what I have been doing.

First I have been showing the car all over and have gotten some good response from some very nice people. The car was photographed at the Roadster Shop during the build and was published in the August edition of Chevy High Performance. I was so stoked. I purchased a picture plaque of the article. Here is a picture of it.

Music Video
 

Oops, I posted one twice. Here is the picture I wanted to post.

Also I have two younger brothers that own their own videography company. They came down for a visit and took some video and had some fun making me a video of the car. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Sorry to all the Mustang drivers but there was no way in hell I was gonna let that guy get past me. The video doesn't show it very well but he tried to come zooming up and pass me. Boy did he get a surprise!

'66 Chevelle I think is my favorite year! Yours is a beautiful car. Those headers are a work of art as are the rest of the details.

My buddy in high school in the late 80's had a '66 Chevelle with a 396, ported rectangle heads, TH400 and nitrous. It looked mean as hell.. but never really was that fast as he didn't put slicks on it. :headspin:

Great looking car...wow.:thumbsup:

The vid is well done obviously, except IMO that great motor should be the loud noise, not the music.

I'd be interested in watching it again if there is a version with the music
replaced by the motor sounds.

I was just about to make the same comment. If nothing else, the part were your car is on the dyno, turn the music down and let the WOT pull be the "music".

Your car is beautiful and very nicely put together!
