Restoration progress (good pics)
Over the past few months, I have been in the process of restoring my '66 coupe and have periodically posted a few pictures......however, I neglected to post them in this specific forum - as opposed to the C1-C2 forum - duh.
I do not know if there is much cross surfing, so I decided to post them in both places, since I am always looking for feedback. If posting in both places is not necessary, please let me know. Thanks.

Guys, Thanks very much; I appreciate the encouragement....its a lot of work.
Chuck, yes; the restorer spent several years experimenting with various paints to get it just right! :)

Re: Restoration progress (topless68)
Huh...Whaddauhsay? Whaddauhsay? I'm being serious here, Jason...Allen's car is shaping up as one heck of a restoration (I need to get a little closer and check those shiny new brake/fuel lines with my magnet though. :D :D )

Ahhhh! Correction indeed...I did say "she is open for discussion and correction if needed", to which I say she will always correct. ;)
Did she catch me? I remember what my Dad used to tell me..."Momma doesn't have to know everything" :blueangel:

Re: Restoration progress (topless68)
Thanks guys, it is coming along.....slow but sure. :)
Regarding NCRS standards - ABSOLUTELY!!! The restorer does nothing but NCRS....the last car he did PV'd and Bloomington Gold last year.
I will keep the pictures coming.....
Allen :D

Re: Bigger pictures - potential load time issue (allenz)
Sheesh, Allen, the closer you get, the better it looks. Very nice. Are the yokes on your differential and halfshafts really natural finish? Did you resto those are did you send them out?
One comment: Are those clamp screws on your big block bypass hose supposed to be that long? I would be tempted to cut about an inch of the length off or get shorter screws. Unless, of course, that's what the judges are looking for. :D
