Nice! Your Convertable looks awesome! I bought one that needs some work, but I'm working on it and should be decent come spring...

Hey Thanks for the compliment,Technically it's my wifes car,I bought it as a gift to thank her for putting up with me and all of my cars. In other words at the time I bought it she said I couldn't buy myself anymore cars,So I didn't ,I bought it for her.LOL

As nice as it looks it's a 10 footer/work in progress,trust me. But that's ok I've never wanted a show car(I'd never drive it) and more importantly it gives me something to do.I love projects.LOL.I think your car looks great,I like the photos. I'd love to hear more about it. I have another vert that reminds me a bit of yours it's a different color but it's a 66 6 cylinder,etc.



What are your plans for your car ,your to do list ?

If you need any help,advice, input,etc.Let me know.

That's too funny, I've always wanted an older car and I was looking for a long time... But I knew I had to pull the trigger when my wife became pregnant. I figured it was now or never so I bought a '66 vert with the inline 6. I know it isn't the fastest thing ever but it sure is sweet to drive. Mine is also a 10 footer, but thus far I've done some improvements and it might be more like an 8 footer now! So far I've taken out the carpets, changed the heater core, refinished the heater box, fixed the hydrolics for the top... I am also planning on redoing the center console and upgrading the gauge lights to LED. Oh and my driver side seat has a seam rip so I'd like to fix that at some point. But like I said earlier I'm going slow since we have a baby on the way!!
Any tips on what underlay I should put down prior to the carpets? I bought the mass backed carpet so hopefully it goes down easier!!

Dynamat, and possible some sort of rust converter/preventative on the floorpans.

Very cool, I may have seen your car before around here. Welcome to the site!

You will see mine around the area when it rolls out of the garage in the Spring. Just bought it at the end of November and haven't really gotten to drive it yet! I'm itching to take it for a spin! :D

Nice! My car is current put away for the winter, but soon enough I'll be going down rte 50 again! So you think dynamat even though it is a convertable and will be loud regardless?
