Re: My '66 build thread
Good Lord man. That's quite a collection. Almost bought a Banshee a few years back but my sis couldn't drive a manual so we bought a Polaris. Still trying to figure that one out. I bet the neighbors love it when ya'll fire those babies up in the garage.

Re: My '66 build thread
ya my sister had a polaris... she hated it. lol then she moved up to the banshee.

Re: My '66 build thread
It wasn't too bad. You just couldn't go into much water or else you would be sitting there until the heat dried off the trans belt some. What color are you going to go with on the '66?

Re: My '66 build thread
i'm thinking either a really dark charcoal or a little lighter charcoal with two black stripes down it and black tube bumpers, cage and tire carrier.
|
Re: My '66 build thread
Sounds sweet. Matte Charcoal or cleared?

Re: My '66 build thread
Lookin good!!
|
Re: My '66 build thread
thanks! and i think cleared. i want a high gloss with some depth to it.
|
Re: My '66 build thread

|
Re: My '66 build thread

Re: My '66 build thread
Thanks for all the replies guys! Update time, last week my dad managed to find the last two Flowmaster off-road super 44's in the city and picked up some 3 inch pipe also. He did the fitting, cutting, and welding on the pipes. He also made a pretty dang good looking little bracket for the mufflers. After he got the pipes and mufflers done I coated them with an aluminum paint and some flat black

Re: My '66 build thread
Quality work, you should be proud.
Can't wait to see the body go on! |
Re: My '66 build thread
You MUST demand that the body shop take pics of the extended cab process. I have an idea but I'd love to see it.

Re: My '66 build thread
