thanx for posting pictures Carl Frame should be ready next week for blasting & powder coating. Body is close to being ready, next is doors fenders hood and trunk lid. Then I`ll be on the bug for templates of moldings and emblem holes.

Is that a reproduction rear frame cross member?

 Carl, this is an original white / orange stripe delete car

 Great to see!  (Pardon my ignorance but... I'm guessing they were all "stripe delete cars" in '66?)

PS  What colour interior?

 the white / orange stripe comment was for Carl who loves that combo Mine is Mist Blue  with Black interior and in will be done to original colours

Oh yes, the green framed car ... I remember it now! You put a couple new rear body mounts on the frame as well ... did the same on my spare frame this summer.

Great work!

Ebay item 390662912049 $110 free shipping. A number of ebay sellers have them up for sale. Make sure that its made by AMD

That's some good progress, that will be a very nice car when done. 

Wow - looks great ! ---it is so satisfying when something that sat abondoned for so many years finds such a great new home--if you get bored you can drop it back off at my place !

Looks really good, if you have the resources it can sometimes be nice to start with a project so you are not afraid to disassemble it completely to end up with a really nice product!

If you get a chance could you take some pics or measurements to show where the four speed floor pan conversion is located, it is kind of a funny shaped piece, I'd like to have a good idea where it is located fore and aft before I go hacking up my car!! How were they attached to the floor originally?

 they were spot welded in place and thats how this one went back in. The repop humps almost push into place with the shape of the floor. We took loots of measurements plus I have other four speed cars to check. If you can install drive line with shifter and console you can move things around to a happy place where shifter clears all then nail them down. We over restored the hole in the floor with a smooth edge instead of factory correct hack job lol. Also used seam seal under the hump as well as on top.
