Once a Darksider, always a Darksider.
However...we do need pix to prove your re-entry !! That GP sounds like it has a lot of potential.

Looks like you have a pretty solid base for a resto. Very nice.
And welcome back.

Cool 66 GP

Phil
Looks like the start of a great resto project.
Best of luck with her!
I'm hopefully meeting my new toy @ 7am today being delivered from Pa thanks to the help of another PYer Keith (oldman)

And to think that this plum has just been waiting to be picked!

It may need everything to be as-new, but MAN that is all a '66 fan could ask for in a project!

Slightly O/T technical question: Large air cleaner on a '66?? I thought '65 was the last year. Any corrective wisdom available on this?

Not to sidetrack this thread but we're waiting to hear from Ron [rapdron] to see if his Poncho was delivered. Ron, why not start a new thread for your project ?
