Thanks my friend!!

Re: 1966 Chevelle Build
 

We chose the color. It's from a 2008 Suzuki 750. It's called Pearl Vigor Blue.

Re: 1966 Chevelle Build
 

That's a pretty color. That should look real nice on the 66.

Re: 1966 Chevelle Build
 

Hey Man,

That color looks sweet. Nice choice.

Re: 1966 Chevelle Build
 

I love blue on these old Chevelle's, it brings me back to my high school days.:smoke:

Re: 1966 Chevelle Build
 

After giving it a lot of thought I sat down with the wife and told here “six bolts and about $800 more we can have the frame powder coated and under the body sprayed. So, success! I talked her into it. It was really bothering me, I would look at the car and kept saying to myself " six more bolts.....six more bolts.....only six more bolts" So on Saturday I'm heading down to the body shop and taking the body of and bring the chassis home, strip it down and off to the powder coater.

Re: 1966 Chevelle Build
 

Did you get that chassis home?

Re: 1966 Chevelle Build
 

Yep I did. Started to take the rest apart Saturday.

Re: 1966 Chevelle Build
 

Here's a shot of us pulling the body off the frame. You can see in the picture we used a crane truck to pull the body off, all it cost me was a bottle of JD.

Very cool Cal. Our family is in the water well business here in Ontario.

Re: 1966 Chevelle Build
 

Nice choice! That will just make this car that much nicer when done!

Re: 1966 Chevelle Build
 

Take any pics of the frame yet? You got it back from powder coat, right?

Re: 1966 Chevelle Build
 

I have taken some pic, I just can't find the cord to down load from my camera.

Re: 1966 Chevelle Build
 

Same happened to me. I picked up one of these.

Re: 1966 Chevelle Build

No showng off, just trying to keep up with the quality work my buddy Kabwe is doing. :metal: Thanks for the kind words my friend.

Re: 1966 Chevelle Build
 

LOL don't do that I take to long to finish things.lol I like that fact that you decided to do a frame off. There is really no other way to go in my opinion when its a ride you expect to keep.
