66 Twin Turbo Chevelle "Green Hornet"

[Rick Giles]

This a project that I bought off this site about a year ago. Since then a few things have been done like new turbos, Rick's gas tank with Weldon fuel pump and filter, and turbo piping (not installed as of yet). Been trying to get my local turbo fabricator guy to fit and weld all turbo piping. Looks like I may have to take it out of town to get it done. It also needs custom headers made to accomodate the larger turbos. It has Gale Banks exhaust manifolds. Can't wait to someday drive this thing!

[KPC67]

Nice car, love the color

[Rybar]

Thanks for posting Rick, I've wanted to know what happened of this car. You picked it up for a great deal from what I remember.

[66SuperSport]

Rick

Great to finally see some recent pictures. You just beat me to this one. When I called to buy the car you had just closed the deal earlier that day. Can't wait to see it done. Hopefully you can get it out to some of the events.

[waynieZ]

Very Nice Rick. It should be a wild ride.

[tones2SS]

Nice looking car. I like the color. Should definitely be a great and fun ride for sure.:thumbsup:

[BANKO]

Looking good Rick! What's your timeline to get it running? I can't wait to hear the sound of that motor running!

[manny z]

Man, twin turbos look so dam good on an american V-8..:thumbsup:

[Rick Giles]

Thanks for the input and compliments guys.

66SuperSport, I'm sorry I beat you to it. Were you building your 66 then?

When I bought the car my goal was to have it done by Oct. Goodguys event in Charlotte. Started a new business the middle of last year and any extra money went to the business so she has been on hold.:( Hoping to get it going by Oct this year. Once all the piping is done and everything is ready I would like to take it off the frame and do a full detail. This really is a very nice car in so many ways like NO RUST! I take that back, there is a little bit around the bottom of the rear window but you have to look real close in between the window moulding and the sheetmetal. I've only seen a few cars in my life that are in this condition. Still has the original paint in the trunk with the original jack sticker under the trunk lid.
She should make about 1200hp on pump gas with the 67mm turbos and intercoolers.
Hopefully next month 1 out of 2 possible shops will fabricate the piping and headers.:thumbsup:

[mrgm]

great project

[XcYZ]

Wow, great car, would love to see more.

[Rick Giles]

I want to put more up but unsure about reducing the size of pictures and then restoring them back to original size. Still learning.

[NOPANTS68]

I saw this car in storage before you bought it. It's an awesome car with some top shelf parts. Love the motor too.

[Rick Giles]

Man, it sure is hard to find someone that does good fab/welding work to do the turbo piping in the Richmond area in a reasonable amount of time. Going to talk to one more guy today and if that doesn't work....does anyone want to buy the motor and turbos? Just about ready to go with a LS3 motor with a Kenne Bell... something I can do myself at home!

How far you willing to travel for the turbo fab work? What about Turbo Hoses in Livermore? I've seen their shop and work. Looks very good.

Are you in Richmond, VA? If so, check out:

Virginia Speed, Inc.
1397 Taylor Farm Road, Virginia Beach, VA 23453 757-468-5101

They do some really nice work. Check them out on LS1 tech

[Rick Giles]

I'm in Richmond Va. I looked up turbo hoses and that is a great place especially for parts. Guess I'm 3000 miles from them. Virginia Speed looks like a possibilty since they are about 1 1/2 hours from me. Talked to Brett Hamilton at Hamilton Race Cars in Powhatan Va. He is well known for his fab work. He said he could take the car in in about 2 weeks and only needs 1-2 days working on it! Hope this works out. Thanks guys for your input.:thumbsup:

Best of luck to ya.

[Rick Giles]

Just want to say thanks to Brett Hamilton in Powhatan, Va. for taking care of the fabrication and turbo plumbing. This man is very talented and does a very nice job!!:thumbsup:

That looks sick...:thumbsup:

[Rybar]

Looks awesome Rick :thumbsup:

[Rick Giles]

Thanks guys!! It's getting fun now.:)

[tones2SS]

Very nice. That thing is going to be a beast for sure!:unibrow:

[Rick D]

Now that looks like it will be a fun ride when finished. Very nice set up whats the spec's on the engine?? And let's see some pictures and whats been done to the rest of the car. :thumbsup:

[coolwelder62]

Awesome,I love the 66-67 chevelle'sThis thing is going to be BA as my son would say.:thumbsup:

[rwhite692]

Looks really nice, Rick. I am also running the banks manifolds.

[Flash68]

Wow you must be anxious to put that to the ground! :thumbsup:

[HotRod68Camaro]

Looks great, that color is awesome.

[Rick Giles]

I will try to get some more pictures up soon. Thanks for all the compliments too! I love this car!

The engine specs are 383ci Vortech block with splayed Callies caps, forged crank, rods and pistons, roller cam, AFR 210 heads, 9.0 compression, Holley Stealth Ram FI, Holley Dominator engine management system, FAST dual sync distributor, Gale Banks manifolds, Tial BOV's and wastegates, twin Bell air to air intercoolers, Comp 67mm turbos, etc.

[tones2SS]

Cannot wait to see more pics and I think we need a video of that bad boy idling and revved up.:unibrow:

[Rick Giles]

Some of Rick's Tanks handy work. They do a wonderful job and Hector is great to deal with! Just don't say anything about the old ugly fittings...they are some I had laying around and have nothing to do with Rick's Tanks. They will be changed out.

[waynieZ]

That looks like a slick setup! Your right they make awesome tanks.Very nice.

[Rick Giles]

Check out the welds on this bad boy! Purty!

[tones2SS]

Check out the welds on this bad boy! Purty!

Very clean!:yes:

[Trackman]

How did you come about your decision for an external fuel pump over internal? Serviceability,fuel requirements?
I also have Rick's efi tank and it has no issues fueling nearly 700hp on 1/8 tank. You get what you pay for.

[Rick Giles]

I have a friend that is turbo guy and he said buy the best and buy Weldon. I called Weldon and asked them what I needed and they said use the 2025 pump if you want to make over 1000 hp. Just so happeded that I ran across a guy selling a good used one with the filter and fittings for $400. Everything bought for fuel delivery is made by Weldon including filters, regulator and electronic controller. Man it's expensive building a turbo car! I had also heard some stories about the internal pumps giving problems. Don't know if there is any truth to that but it sure is easy getting to the pump when it's external. What type of setup do you have?

[rwhite692]

.....Man it's expensive building a turbo car! ....


LOL Rick, TESTIFY!

Rob

[Rick Giles]

That's right! Did that sound like an advertisement?:D

[Rick Giles]

One of the latest purchases...THE DOMINATOR ECU with wiring and FAST dual sync distributor. Man there are alot of wires!! Slightly intimidating! Hopefully this will help her run like a new car. I bought this from Dennis at Moore Racecraft because I heard so many good things about him and the way he does business.

[Rick Giles]

I tell ya this sure makes it fun when a car has never had any rust!! Even the floor pans are rust free! Don't see many cars in Virginia like this. This one came from San Diego. Pretty sure this one has never left California til about a year and a half ago. Being from Virginia I have seen a lot of crusty cars and until about 4 years ago I have never experienced what it was like to own a true rust free classic. Bought a stock 67 RS Camaro Arizona car and turned it into a protouring ride. It was a pleasure working on it. Probably won't buy another rust bucket.;)

[Rick Giles]

Just started sanding and polishing the turbo piping. Going from 80 grit to 800 grit takes a while but it sure is worth it!

[ivmotor]

excellent project!

[Trackman]

Little sleepy round here?!!!

[camcojb]

Little sleepy round here?!!!

meaning? :question:

[Rick Giles]

Good question. Meaning?

[Trackman]

Just curious if there was anything new to report.

[Rick Giles]

Sorry Trackman I wasn't sure what you meant. :) Here are a couple of shots of the new radiator cover panel and the support closeout panels that Hamilton Enterprises made and did a great job. It will be painted black to match the radiator support. Also in the picture are the Comp Turbo turbo blankets.

[Trackman]

I think that Camaro is taking up to much space in your garage. You should sell it to me!
Not the first time I have been misunderstood....

[Rick Giles]

It will be going up for sale pretty soon. It's a nice all original sheetmetal with no rust ever convertible. Let me know if you are really interested.

[Trackman]

I didn't realize it was a vert. I got enough of them!

[Rick Giles]

Looks like it has a set of High Jackers in the back. Can ya say 1980!:yes:

[Trackman]

Looks awesome. Is it running? Can't wait till your bored of it!

[Rick Giles]

Probably won't be running till spring. Going to take it off the frame and paint and detail the undercarriage. We are now mocking up all the wiring, computer, fuel system and everything under the hood before it comes off the frame. This is going to be a very hard one to get rid of!:)

[Rick Giles]

Man it sure is nice not to lay on my old back anymore to work on a project! Do yourself a favor and be smarter than me and get one sooner than later!

[Rick Giles]

Now in the process of a full detail. Will be pulling the body off the frame and getting the frame powdercoated satin black. Also painting the bottom side of the body and detailing under the hood.

[camcojb]

great work Rick. Definitely a whole new project now. :thumbsup:

[Rick Giles]

Thanks Jody! And thanks again for going to look at it for me! Feel like I'm on the home stretch.:thumbsup:

[camcojb]

Thanks Jody! And thanks again for going to look at it for me! Feel like I'm on the home stretch.:thumbsup:

well, not sure I did you any favors. :D With all you ended up changing it may not have been the right choice. But I felt it could be finished easily and a decent deal at the time.

The good thing is it will be a great car when you're done with it.

[waynieZ]

It looks great..

[KPC67]

Your car and shop are stellar Rick!

[Rick Giles]

Thank you very much!

[Rick Giles]

I know it's been months since there has been an update...here she is. Couldn't take it anymore and had to take her off the frame.

[Rick Giles]

It took a whole roll of 80 grit d/a, roloc discs, and a hammer and chisel to clean her up. There was absolutely NO rust anywhere! She was powder coated with gloss black then cleared twice! Looks like a black onyx!

[coolwelder62]

I said it over on PT.com and I will repeat myself over here.This is outstanding.Can't wait to see it finished.:thumbsup:

[Rick Giles]

Thanks Coolwelder!!! Working on it just about everyday for a couple hours at a time. Sure takes a long time to get anything done.

[Rick Giles]

Cleaning up the firewall...

[tones2SS]

Keep up the good work. Looking good.

[214Chevy]

Looking good!! :yes: Now, it's time to get started on putting it back together. :thumbsup:

[Rick Giles]

Lots of prep! Two coats of PPG DP90LF followed by two coats of Sikkens Rally Black!

[coolwelder62]

Look's Great.:thumbsup: I've used the rally black before.Good stuff.:thumbsup:

[WSSix]

That's really great looking. :yes:

[waynieZ]

Awesome job. That looks great.

[Rick Giles]

Thanks very much! More pics to come...making some headway on the chassis now.:thumbsup:

[syborg tt]

Rick

What an awesome project. I can't wait to see it back on the ground.:thumbsup:

What are your plans for the suspension ?

[Rick Giles]

Thanks! Talk about an awesome truck, are you still the proud owner/builder and now driving it all over town? Bet you it's a blast to drive! What do or did you like best, building or driving it or both? I have 2 1/2 years building the Chevelle and probably won't be done until next spring.

I'm installing a complete DSE Speed Kit 3. Can't wait to see how it handles and drives.

Thanks for the compliments on the Truck. There were a ton of people involved in the build of that beast. High Speed Welding, Comp Fab, Recovery Room Interios & most important was Kenny Davis Hot Rods.

I started the project in my garage like you and then hauled it to Comp Fab where every Thursday and Saturday I worked on it. Then when it came back home I worked on it again and they sent it to Kenny Davis Hot Rods. I can't say enough good things about Kenny, Kenny Sr and Travis they are the one's that actualy finished the truck. Kenny hauled it to Sema 2010 and it sold couldn't pass up the Money plus I want to start another project with a back seat because I now had 2 little girls that I love taking with me every where.

So I left Vegas in a 2010 SLP 575 Camaro and drove it to Chicago. It's the perfect car to take to local cruise nights with my girls.

I also started a 70 Camaro project that I have involved my kids and the neighbor kids in. I figure if i can get them into Cars and Mountain Biking it may keep them away from drugs and other bad things. The 70 has been a blast to work on and once again I have handed it off to Kenny and the guys at Kenny Davis Hot Rods. We were going to debut it at Sema this year but I had a little medical problem that I need to care of first. So the new plan it to debut it in March at the World of Wheel in Chicago.

okay sorry for the thread hi-jack on my reply.

[Rick Giles]

Wow! Sounds like you have had some great experiences due to your hard work and are truly blessed! I have a girl and a boy (7 & 5) and can't wait to take them to the cruise-ins.

I have no intention of selling the Chevelle but I guess that's what they all say. Maybe someone will make a crazy offer and she will have to go?:D

Wish you the best with you and your project!

[Rick Giles]

The start of the DSE Speed Kit 3 installation....

[Rybar]

Your project is looking really good Rick! :thumbsup:

[Rick Giles]

The DSE suspension is complete with the exception of the rear sway bar. Also need larger front and rear tires but have to wait for the body to be set to check for fitment. Sure is good to see her sitting on all four tires!:thumbsup:

[coolwelder62]

Rick,As alway's lookin great.:thumbsup: :thumbsup:I installed a 9in. housing in my 66 chevelle build.At ride height it look's like the upper link bracket's on top of the housing might bump the trunk floor.Have you mocked up your's.

[Rick Giles]

Thanks! I had it mocked up with a different suspension and the car was sitting much higher. Might have to make a couple of pockets for clearance. Hope not though. Thanks for the heads up!

[tones2SS]

Awesome!

[Rick Giles]

A visual update of the last few months. Sure is nice to be done with the dirty work!

[Rick Giles]

A few more...

[coolwelder62]

Rick I'm really lovin your chevelle.JET-HOT also did my reworked header's.Awesome Company and Quality workmanship.I hope my chevelle turns as nice as your's.:thumbsup:

[camcojb]

This sure morphed into a big project. :G-Dub: Great job. :thumbsup:

[g356gear]

A few more...

Looks awesome! Where did you source your manifolds from?

[66138]

Great project ! What size rims and backspacing do you have there ?

https://picasaweb.google.com/103614099622200480857/66ChevelleResto?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCM-Fk-iIk8Wq-wE&feat=directlink

[Rick Giles]

Coolwelder, just like you said, Jet Hot is a great company. They called me last week just to thank me for the business and to check to see if I was completely satisfied. That's unheard of today.

Camcojb, yeah thanks alot for checking this car out for me and telling me all it needed was about $10K worth of work. Just kidding!:D It has turned out to be a labor of love. Thanks for your help!

g356gear, the exhaust manifolds are from Gale Banks. Very nice parts. Glad I went this route instead of headers. It's such a clean install and durable.

66138, the front rims are 18X9 with 4 7/8" backspace and rears are 18X10 but I'm not sure of the back spacing. I did narrow the rear after I bought the car but I don't remember the width.

Thanks for the compliments guys!!

[camcojb]

:lol: well, to be fair, we were talking about just bolting it together as-is. When you decide to re-engineer and change everything, costs do balloon. :thumbsup:

[Jay Hilliard]

Excellent job. Car looks amazing. I love the color combo (green with tan interior). What part of Va are you located? Im in central NC, about 3 hr drive to Richmond.

[64G-lark]

Nice build Rick. I really like the color combination as well. In the pictures it almost looks like a silver with a slight green tint. Do you have any details on the paint color?

[WSSix]

Engine detailing looks great! Glad the car is still moving along.

[66138]

Thanks Rick. Love the color and the rims look just right !

[Rick Giles]

Thanks guys for the compliments!

Jay, I'm in Mechanicsville that's right outside of Richmond. I lived in Chapel Hill for a few years and love N.C.! Was a Snap-On dealer back in the 80's.

The color is called Willow Green. It has one repaint and the new color is slightly more silver than the original.

Jody, I have seen you take a killer car and turn it into something way over the top! Guess we have trouble leaving well enough alone. Sure is fun building a very detailed car though.:thumbsup:

[66SuperSport]

Looking forward to seeing this one done and on the road! Should be an absolute blast to drive.

[Rick Giles]

Another update...

[pokey64]

That's coming together really nice Rick!

Great looking garage as well!

[MX145]

X2 Very nice!

[coolwelder62]

Looks you will probably get your's finished first.

[Rick Giles]

Thanks guys! Here's a few more...

[tubbed69]

I do not know how I missed this one,love the color and the wheels,thats alot of motor in this one.

[Al Moreno]

Killer project :hail: . You should be getting exited to get behind the wheel just about now.

[syborg tt]

Car looks killer and I love the winch on the rack - what a great idea.

[1965_SS]

Awesome build!

[ProTouring442]

I do not know if you've thought about this, or what your plans might be, but you can convert the factory A/C from the valve system (POA I think) to an orifice tube and a cycling compressor fairly easily. I did it on the factory system in my '66 some years ago (long since sold). Worked like a charm.

Beautiful car... can't wait to see it finished!

[1965_SS]

What's the ceiling height inside your garage?

[bentfab]

Rick,

How did the firewall clearance work out?

Mark

[tones2SS]

That looks awesome Rick. Keep up the great work and keep up posted.

Thanks for your suggestion. I have talked to a local A/C shop that has been around for years and they said that they can help me with that. Plan on running R12 also in hopes of being able to hang meat up inside the car.

Going to run 200 mph with the A/C on.:)

[Rick Giles]

What's the ceiling height inside your garage?

It's 10'3". I'm only 5'8" and it works great. I think up to about a 6' tall person would work ok with a car like this.

[Rick Giles]

Rick,

How did the firewall clearance work out?

Mark

Hey Mark,

It seems to be just fine thanks to your handy work! I will post some pictures soon of your masterpiece!

[Ron in SoCal]

It's 10'3". I'm only 5'8" and it works great. I think up to about a 6' tall person would work ok with a car like this.

My calculations too Rick. I have 124" and it looks very close. Car looks superb!

[Rick D]

Looking great Rick, all most there!

[bentfab]

Hey Mark,

It seems to be just fine thanks to your handy work! I will post some pictures soon of your masterpiece!

Great ! Thanks for letting me be a part of your build:thumbsup:

[Rick Giles]

Got some new sneakers last week...275 & 295 BFG RIVALS!

[coolwelder62]

Awesome Score on the BFG's.

[GrabberGT]

Got some new sneakers last week...275 & 295 BFG RIVALS!

Oooh. those are my sizes. What width rims are you mounting them on? If 9" and 10" I could you some measurements after you get them mounted.

Edit:
I found it earlier in your thread.

66138, the front rims are 18X9 with 4 7/8" backspace and rears are 18X10 but I'm not sure of the back spacing. I did narrow the rear after I bought the car but I don't remember the width.

When you get them mounted I'd love to see the width at the widest part measurement.

[Rick D]

That's a nice stack you have there Rick :_paranoid

[Rick Giles]

When you get them mounted I'd love to see the width at the widest part measurement.

I will be glad to do that. It will probably be 2-3 weeks before they are mounted. If you don't hear from me in a few weeks you are welcome to email me at [email protected].

[Rick Giles]

Can someone help change the tail panel to matte black and the wheel centers to gunmetal grey and black as well. It would be much appreciated!

[Ummgawa]

This car is as nice as Jody's Chevelle. I love a 66 Super Sport and yours is wicked. Excellent detail dude.

[1badsc]

the wheels are a little dark hope this helps ...very slick chevelle for sure http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j77/Koolmagumn/Photoshop%20pictures/photochopped%20pictures/2013%20photochopped%20pictures/Chevelleyggygg.png

Go for it. Looks great.

[Craig67]

Different color but same tone with Smoked Titanium centered Rushforths......hope this helps. I went back and forth about the black panel and ultimately put it back to match the body. You car is awesome by the way!!!

[Rick Giles]

Thanks guys for all of your help!! I think it just looks meaner with the darker wheels and tail panel although I will probably keep her just like she is. Maybe when boredom sets in it will be time for a change.

[1965_SS]

Is this the ride height with the DSE kit? If so, do you feel you need more shock travel with it set this low? How's the ride?
Thanks

[1transam]

What's the wheel and tire spec on this car?

[all4sho]

sweet build, awesome looking car

[instro84]

nice, i like the tail panel body color myself.

[Rick Giles]

What's the wheel and tire spec on this car?

The wheels are Fikse 18x9 in front and 18x10 in rear. Will be running BFG Rival 275 in front and 295 in rear.

Sorry for the slow response. Have not been on here in a while and am not receiving email notification and not sure why. Anyone know how to fix that?

[jarhead]

Glad this came to the top, I enjoyed reading the build.

What an awesome car. As everyone else has stated love the color too.

The twin turbo is just amazing!

No problem, your right on time..... Just getting ready to order my wheels and tires.... My exact size plan and tire brand!!!

[waynieZ]

I love this car. My first car was a 66 SS but the paint you scraped off the bottom of yours was better than any part of the one I had and that was in 1972!
Awesome build!!

[Rick Giles]

WaynieZ, that's funny! This car spent it's whole life in a garage in California, thank goodness. Plus she only has 50,400 miles on her.

Thanks for all of the votes on the color as well. Seems like most people like it but some don't.

In the middle of more fabrication and tweeking but soon to start all of the paint work for under the hood. Hope to fire her up in the next couple of months. Been working on her for 4 years!

[Stovebolter]

Oh man. :hail:

[RoadRace Elco]

need one of my front SPOILERS:ups:

Need my fix.
How about an update!

[Rick Giles]

I am hoping to have some pictures in the next few weeks...stay tuned...:confused59:

[Evaporate]

uhhhh sir.... we would actually like some video:warning:

Your car just makes me-----> :hail:

[Leadfoot1]

Wow!

Just went thru the whole thread. What a ride!!!

Its almost enough to get me ready to jump into tne fire and tear mine down....

Almost.

Seriously, it takes some guts to tear an almost done car and refinish (i really dont think that word is enough but thats all i have for the moment lol!!) everything to the next level!!!

Hat off to you man, very, very, nice!!

Lead.

[Rick Giles]

I'm very glad to announce that we fired the car this past weekend for the first time in 4 plus years! Looks like we have some interference with the dual sync distributor and Holley Dominator ECU and trying to put our finger on it. Stay tuned...

[syborg tt]

That is great news :gitrdun:

[Leadfoot1]

I am hoping to have some pictures in the next few weeks...stay tuned...:confused59:

We've stayed.... But the pics have yet to show up.

Just sayin'

Lead.

[Trackman]

Great, now it will drive into my trailer under its own power now!

I have intermittent interference as well with my Holley efi set up but only after 5500rpm. The cable that connects to your laptop doesn't want to be anywhere near the distributor.

[WSSix]

That's great news. Congrats!

You should fly down and drive it back as soon as we get all of the bugs worked out!:drive:

Yesterday we found a wire in the wrong place and might be able to get it fired again this afternoon.

You have done an amazing job with the car, looks awesome!

What are you doing with the invo's? Im in the market for some 18's

Looking really good Rick.

[Rick Giles]

Thanks! The Invos are pretty old and they have never been on the road but have some damage on them. They would be good for mocking up or easy driving.

Selling the transmission complete out of this girl to upgrade to a Tremec Magnum if you know anyone interested. She has a T56 that is listed in the classified section.

The wheels are Fikse 18x9 in front and 18x10 in rear. Will be running BFG Rival 275 in front and 295 in rear.

Sorry for the slow response. Have not been on here in a while and am not receiving email notification and not sure why. Anyone know how to fix that?

Rick,
Any mods to the rear to fit that rim and tire? I have been sold on those specs now for quite a while. Thanks in advance. Top quality build brother!
