[UK_66_LeMans]

Opps, just realised I've not posted mine in here.

Ok then here is my European built '66 Lemans. Came with a 326ci and a 2 speed auto. Don't know much more about her, other than rare because of being built over this side of the pond. She's now got a 455ci block in her and a VFN fibreglass hood to be fitted properly ( picture of it, is just sat on).

Just got her home and starting to work on restoring her.

Thanks for the compliment! Oh, I have lots more pics! It took me hours to decide on the one I posted, lol. That's really the most up to date picture I have though. I haven't taken any more pictures since I unmasked it. I've been working my butt off trying to wet-sand and polish for that true show car flat paint job. I had a heck of a time finding the right combination of rubbing compound, pad, and technique but I think I'm starting to get it.

I looked back at my first picture in this thread and see that it was just one month shy of one year between priming the shell and getting the final paint on there. Crazy to think that I originally thought I'd do the whole project in a year (it's been over three now).

I'm a fan of the 67's too.

Unfortunately I don't have the vert any more, but that 67 wagon is my daily driver.
