66 Twin Turbo Chevelle "Green Hornet"

[Rick Giles]

Coolwelder, just like you said, Jet Hot is a great company. They called me last week just to thank me for the business and to check to see if I was completely satisfied. That's unheard of today.

Camcojb, yeah thanks alot for checking this car out for me and telling me all it needed was about $10K worth of work. Just kidding! It has turned out to be a labor of love. Thanks for your help!

g356gear, the exhaust manifolds are from Gale Banks. Very nice parts. Glad I went this route instead of headers. It's such a clean install and durable.

66138, the front rims are 18X9 with 4 7/8" backspace and rears are 18X10 but I'm not sure of the back spacing. I did narrow the rear after I bought the car but I don't remember the width.

Thanks for the compliments guys!!

well, to be fair, we were talking about just bolting it together as-is. When you decide to re-engineer and change everything, costs do balloon.

Excellent job. Car looks amazing. I love the color combo (green with tan interior). What part of Va are you located? Im in central NC, about 3 hr drive to Richmond.

Nice build Rick. I really like the color combination as well. In the pictures it almost looks like a silver with a slight green tint. Do you have any details on the paint color?

Engine detailing looks great! Glad the car is still moving along.

Thanks Rick. Love the color and the rims look just right !

Thanks guys for the compliments!

Jay, I'm in Mechanicsville that's right outside of Richmond. I lived in Chapel Hill for a few years and love N.C.! Was a Snap-On dealer back in the 80's.

The color is called Willow Green. It has one repaint and the new color is slightly more silver than the original.

Jody, I have seen you take a killer car and turn it into something way over the top! Guess we have trouble leaving well enough alone. Sure is fun building a very detailed car though.

Looking forward to seeing this one done and on the road! Should be an absolute blast to drive.
