Comments: I have owned this car for 39 years it has been a 1/4 mile weekend warrior drag car for most of its time with me. It is a completely rust free car. Pro Touring is where I have taken it to. I have just finished the car March 2021 and still working on details and tweeking to get the car completely dialed in.
I had hoped to have it done in 3 years but that slowly turned into 7 years of nights and weekends because it seemed nothing fit like it should had to modify, or build my own parts

Wow Jeff your car history sounds much like our 66. My father bought his 66 when it was a year old and still has it. I gave it a little pro touring treatment about 2 years ago after all the drag racing he did with it back in the day.
That is a beautiful color you picked and the wheels compliment it very well. These cars are really becoming popular even though it was a 2 year run with that body style. 66 & 67's are definitely my favorite from the Chevy II / Nova lineup.
Good luck with the tweaking :thumbsup:
