Default My 1966 project
When I say project, I mean PROJECT! I have finally started putting together all of my parts/junk that I have been collecting for nearly 15 years. It is starting to look like an automobile! I'll post them in sets of 10

The front and rear ends are from ACI. We have used them before on restorations and they are very good quality. I wish I could afford the press molded clips, but it's just not in the budjet! Scott
