Re: 66 pro-touring build
actually for a change I had most of Sat to work on it. Got all of the motor and trans wiring done, started on the air conditioning wiring, tied up a bunch of little things that needed to be done. Thinking that if all goes well I may be able to try and crank it next week end - that should get me fired back up. All this wiring is tedious and aggravating!!

Re: 66 pro-touring build
So, no new pictures as all I have been doing is a bunch of little things. This project has drug out for so long I was starting to lose motivation, so I decided to get the engine running to get me back on track. It started first turn of the key and sounds great - it just has a generic tune in it for now, but seems to really like it considering tha cam and intake swap. Hopefully, i've have some improvements that need pictures soon.

Re: 66 pro-touring build
Been workin on it when I have time. Motor cranked right off and runs great, so all good there - just need to get a tune for it as it currently just has the stock tune. Started building the front inner fenders as with the firwall moved and the porter built hinges - I figured it would be easier just to start from scratch. Also, threw all the panels back on just to get a look to make sure it is still looking the same as it does in my head - it does. So, now just need to finish wiring, body work and paint, and some interior work.

Re: 66 pro-touring build
it was eastwood clear and i think it was called satin, I'll have to check. I'm running a 69 camaro twin pass radiator, not a bolt on - but a fairly easy fit.
Nova is in several different pieces and places - its next on the list for the pro-touring makeover.

Re: 66 pro-touring build
just thought I'd drop an update to let everyone know I didn't die!!
Time has become non-existent, so progress has been super slow. After building my own front inner fenders, I was never completely happy so I ended up just buying some from slosh tubz. Ordered new replacement doors and they both fit as well as everyone has said - terrible, so lots of work to do there.
