RE: Restoring '66 Coupe 289 (Now with some pics)
Hey Guys,
It's been a while when I said that I would post pics of the pony and now I have some. I have been busy with school and I just got out for the summer today after our exams. Since, I have some free time, I can post the pics.
The pictures were taking around the middle of May, but we havent done too much with the satang yet. The only thing we are doing right now is rebuilding the carb. and putting a new battery to move the car into the garage.

Th Engine pic turned out bad, because the flash didn't work for some reason, but all you need to know that a 2bbl 289 is under the hood.

Wow, that is some major rust damage. I take back my estimate of 10 grand, and would add a few more thou to it.

I would too. I estimate 10g on my car and there is only hole in my car by the battery.

Yep, once it's done you'll enjoy it!
Restoring my 73 Mach almost cost me a divorce. Shoot, maybe I'll start another project car and see if it works the second time!

An original bench seat V8 car!!!!!
Cool, ...yeah, that's worth time in the garage.
Good luck man. Stick with it, you'll be glad you did.
That will be one exceptional car when your done.
Just remember your mom invested 18 years on you.
And trust me, I"m sure she had moments where she wanted to give up and park your butt under a tree too!
