1966 Aluminum P10 Grumman Olsonette
Hi All! My name is Justin and I live in Bayfield, CO. I'm finally making some good progress on my project and figured it's time to start my build thread.
It's a 1966 Chevrolet P10 chassis with an aluminum Grumman Olsonette body. The wheelbase is only 102" and was originally powered a 250 straight six. Just going to make a goofy hot rod to haul the dogs around in. Would also like to set it up as a tow rig to haul my turbo 5.3 Chevelle to the track. Plans are to drop in a stock 5.3, TH400, Re gear the 12 bolt, blast and powder coat the frame, air bag setup, cupped lower control arms, drop spindles, front disc brakes, 2600 bags up front, c notch, 2500 bags in the rear, hidden hitch, and somehow finding the patience to polish the body out. The day I made the deal for $400 lol. ![]() ![]() Paint Stripped ![]() ![]() Lift Off! ![]() ![]() An el cheapo Craftsman box I sanded down, stickered up, and patina'd with a rust solution. Will use this to haul tools to the track. ![]() Cupped lower control arms. ![]() A set of seats I scored at the Good Guys show in Phoenix last month. Also was able to make it to Dino's Git Down. Super cool event for sure! ![]() This will be my first complete build from top to bottom. Never removed a body from chassis, done complete interior, new wiring harness, air bags, etc. Should be a fun learning process. Looking forward to giving back in some small way to the forum, albeit not exactly a c10. |
