My new 66 Chevy project "white trash"

[joesbruiser]

I am new to the sight and wanted to share my new build.
I work at a small Restoration shop and we do everything from every nut and bolt builds to routine maintenance.
One of our customers that we where doing a satin black 67 Lincoln for also had a little 66 truck. He brought the little truck in for a clutch and for us to finish up the AC system.While it was there we also put a new radiator in it.
He drove it for a couple months and the motor laid down on him.Well it spit a rod out the side I guess I should say.
Long story short he is about to move out of the country for a year and did not want to fix it.So I bought it for 1300.00 bucks.I had another 250 laying around so I gave it a new set of gaskets and a paint job then detailed the engine bay a little and had fun doing it I cut the rust out and just plated over the holes,I did not try to fit the plates I just layed them over and tacked them in.Lol when i was done I just cleared everything. I have been driving it for a couple of weeks now and love it.
Next up I am going to do a little body work I don't want it perfect but better than what it is now and give it a new coat of satin white and do the top in a heavy red flake.
