Default Custom 66 in NW Texas. Excellent workmanship!

I saw this car in Stratford, TX - Just north of Amarillo. The bodywork was flawless and it has a 490 under the hood with 17" Boyd's. The owner came out and we BS'd for a while. They had several Mustangs and Camaros inside. Looked like a first class shop!

For all you purists out there, don't sweat it, the owner said the 66 was in sorry shape and needed a ton of bodywork so they figured what the h e l l. Not like they cut up a good 66.









Hope ya'll enjoyed the pics!!! :cool:

Thanks for sharing the pics, I always love seeing custom vettes. There's lot of stuff I like about that C2, but overall I must say it doesn't look to be in perfect harmony with all the body mods. Great workmanship though! :cheers:

:cool: That thing's almost a C3 now. Put a chrome front bumper on it and I think it would look really cool. Any pics of the engine or interior?

I like the exhaust cutouts, that little bit of chrome make the rear look nice (except fo the tail lights).

No. The interior was still pretty bare, seats and a dash were all that were inside. The guy didn't pop the hood so no pics of the engine.

Sorry Dave, I only took three pics. The shop was Lutes in Statford, TX. You could search for there number.

One of my club members has a similar project car he bought ages ago.
It's a '65 and he is waiting for time to start on it. I showed him these pics and he got all enthused!

Now if he can finish it and keep the front and the back not too modified I think his could look look really good. Get that boy MOTIVATED!!! And then send us pics of his progress. :cool:
