In reference to the picture above - I am wondering if the steering column is original to the car. Maybe a line worker had a liquid lunch and mistook blue for black?

Spare tire well is nice. The spot weld under that holds the forward half of the spare tire holder bracket is intact. That seems to be a problem area on these cars because it is located in the lowest part of the trunk and all of the water collects.

The column is from a 67 as the wheel is different and the shifter is not all metal and has a plastic end.

I thought the 66 and 67 columns were different because the 67 had a crush sleeve. At that rate they would have had to change the trim piece around the column to a '67 model as well to accommodate the larger diameter steering column, correct? I also thought the wiring in a '67 column was different because of the four way flashers. Time for an investigation!

Floors are prepped for a top coat. I had to patch over a few small holes but overall not too bad.

Looks great! How did you patch over the few small holes. I'm looking to do something similar. Thanks

Thanks guys...more pics to come soon.

I used some light gauge steel and formed it to the two area's where the floor was a little thin with a ball peen hammer. I then used a heavy weight epoxy and glues the patches to the floor. It's not the best way to go but the metal is too think to weld (I think?) and the biggest hole was only the size of a quarter and not enough to replace the floor pan. I keep reminding myself not to go overboard on this one.

Hopefully I can get the inside of the roof, trunk and roof itself prepped and painted before our legendary order shows up. I have blasted and painted all of the seat frames, seat brackets, etc. and have them in paint now. I sure hope the engine and trans are ok lol

Almost forgot..the gas tank and filler neck are ready to be picked up at the shop that cleaned them up so it's time to test the sndeing unit and order the replacement rubber parts.

Can you post a close up pic of the finished work please? Thanks

I will try to remember when I get back out there after work today. Are you looking for anything specific?
