'66 Chevelle 300

This is my first REAL project. ('real' meaning my prelude won't be respected as an actual project here ). I bought it back in mid-February, looking like this:



Used it as a daily driver when i wasn't on the motorcycle, then almost sold it in the spring but decided to keep it.
I spent some time during spring break making a custom fiberglass glovebox with CF head unit relocator, which i may or may not keep using

Then after i brought it home to my parent's house for the summer while i've been at college, my dad (Lenie) saw it as a cure for his anxiety (the "my car still isn't back to me?!?!?!" type of anxiety)

He got a deal on some bucket seats, my grandpa re-covered them and then my dad sprayed the backs to match the car


then sanding and body work became a good anxiety cure


spray padre, spray


a li'l wheel mockup


dash received color :-)

then the filter cover, valve covers, and then the control arms and firewall were sprayed black


then yup.... the body pieces made it in


and then the car


two nights ago, the car got brought home and the rear wheel was mounted to check fitment


then this afternoon my dad got the inner fender wells and both fenders mounted

and he got the seat brackets welded in


thanks dad... you're stealing my project, but i love it... you're the man!
