Went over 1000 miles for the year this morning and happy to report the car is running well and a pleasure to drive.
Lots to due once winter comes but it is in the "nice to have" category

My '66 Chevelle traveled 1,200 miles a week ago... no running/driving issues with it either...

Great mileage too as it drafted your truck?

Sadly, NO. No flattener, so it's all gloss and the A pillars have very visible sand scratches under the paint. NO WAY can I sit in the the seat and see that crap. The ocean, called the hood, was bad enough to attempt to overcome, from the last exterior paint job. Current painter has 5 VERY nice SS hoods but won't sell one...

Sorry to here. You have put a lot of effort into getting that body in condition to paint.

Mitch, I missed the story. What’s going on with your 66, I followed your build but you stoped posting.
