I turn 50 later this month and have been looking for an older car for a gift to myself for a while. Picked up this '66 a few weeks ago, it's all there, well cared for and very solid, though it hasn't been driven much in the last few years. I've been cleaning it up, added the wheels and tires, did the usual tune up (added a Pertronix Ignitor II), replaced the tired 4100 with a Holley 1850, new shocks are going on this week (might lower the front end for a little more rake, haven't decided), then I'm replacing the exhaust. Nothing too wild, just a cool, modestly hot rodded cruiser I can enjoy with the wife.
Hope you all like it. Comments, ideas, and suggestions are more than welcome.

This is how it looks now that I've cleaned up a little and added a set of 17x8 Coy's C57 and 235/50 tires-
Here's the interior before I cleaned up all the chrome, still looks good, I think-
