restoring a 66 coupe.....

I second that Rev. MOONBLUE66 to restore a vehicle is only limited by the amount of cash available and the imagination you have. For example my next project is using a roller 5.0 engine with the edelbrock RPM package and a 200 shot nos a modded T-5 some 4.11 gears the hood, front valance, fenders and trunk replaced with fiberglass and of course other things to rienforce the chassis. As soon as I'm able to finish this damn 67' coupe and can use it as my daily driver. I do know what you mean about dad always doing a messy job and sometimes breaking or scratching things along the way. My dad is like that but the only comfort I have is that he ends up making it work a whole lot better than me. Working on a car is never over but as you progress you fall in love with the car. My 67' fastback might not be the fastest or best looking but I built it with my dad and know every screw and scratch on it and can tell you how it got there.
