Re: New guy looking at 1966
I found out the lights will go up and down, I don't seem to get vacuum to my headlight switch, I can pull the vacuum off the canister and hook it up to the lights and they will pop up, swap to the other line and they pop down. I notices the T with the check valve is messed up, looks like I will have...

Re: New guy looking at 1966
I have a painter friend, said he would paint it for $1500 if I buy the beer, he does a nice job, I can only imagine how much it will cost to rechrome the bumpers and reupholster the front seat.

Been a few months since last post, I have the car running great, had to order a hot water valve, $90 at local oriellys or $29 of ebay, so I went with ebay, where is the best place for all the rubber moldings?, doors, windows, hood and trunk. Thanks, Hambone

Re: New guy looking at 1966
Thanks for the reply Otto, my brother in law has a shop here, he maintained the car from 1995 until 2005, when it was parked, it's not sitting on the ground, there is surface rust on the frame, but nothing bad. I will post more pics when I get it to the shop. http://i1308.photobucket.com/albums/s616...
