Project 66
Hello everyone, I am a new member and I am a Mustang guy at heart owning a total of 5 right now, but I have crossed over and purchased a 1966 Chevy C10. I have always loved the body style of these trucks and came across a real clean one for the right price and a very nicely built small block in it. I just started a blog on the build and would like to invite everyone to follow along and let me know what you think.

Re: Project 66
I used the money from selling my 85 Mustang SVO (glorified Pinto, but fun as hell) to buy my 64 C10. Chevy trucks are more my style though I do miss power sliding the SVO at some local onramps from time to time.
Welcome aboard.

Re: Project 66
Cool - I'd be curious to know if that matches the paint code on the trim tag?
Looks too "gold" to be to be fawn, but it sure is purdy. |

Re: Project 66
Gold & white is one of the three color combos that I'm trying to choose between. Here are a few pics of that combo.

Re: Project 66
thanks for the pics....I won't be doing the side mouldings or the custom trim on the top cab corners. I like the color combo though.

Re: Project 66
Some more paint removal and buffing of what I think was the original paint just so I could see what it looked like.
More details @ www.project66.posterous.com

Re: Project 66
Well, I have not updated in a while but I do have a couple of body work pictures to show off. Got new rockers made and a new drip rail on the passenger side. Still stripping paint off of the doors and got a bunch of new parts waiting. I have also custom ordered wheel vintique ralley wheels, pics to come soon.

No chemicals. Stripping it all by hand.
