SO I have been busy on getting this car on a firmer foundation. My parts are starting to roll in as my frame, quarters and one piece floor have shown up. Decided to add a new garage tool to as getting this body off the frame was very dodgy as it was pretty rusty. Now I have to go scrape off the rust and undercoating hybrid mixture and paint the frame.

 I have very limited experience and am learning as I go., trying to build on a budget. Never done floors, trunk or quarter but just watch how to videos and rip and tear.

The motor unfortunately is original, now I am obligated to keep it as the numbers match the paperwork from GM.

I was able to drill out a few spot welds so I could get access to the floors before I had to go on a service call.10991130_1549396728663647_2783959339610645122_n.jpg10999879_1549396751996978_352031255825611916_n.jpg

That's not such a hardship!!! Not a lot of them out there with numbers any more.

You can always set the original engine aside and drop in something else.

The documentation seems to indicate your interior is Ivory but the buckets were black?  I see from your photos that your seats are white.  My 66 Beaumont also has the 393 interior trim code - and the seats in mine are also white (or Ivory).  So I suspect the white are correct for the car.  On mine, the carpet, kick panels and dash are black, but the seats, door panels and headliner are all white and I believe them to be all original.

Thats exactly the same color interior as mine and it is all original also so I don't know why it says black. It wouldn't even make any sense having black buckets and white door panels.

 I've been trying to figure out what color to paint on my '65 SS (originally Willow Green) and I sure like Aztec bronze like your '66 SD or the below colour, thinking tropic turquoise on this beautiful '66 SD Beaumont:

Finally had a few hours to mess with this on the weekend , can't really do to much until my ragtop wheelhouses show up from North Carolina. 20150404_172104.jpg20150404_172120.jpg20150404_182724.jpg20150404_190839.jpg20150404_192136.jpgFeels good to get rid of that rusty old metal, although I wish there wasn't so much of it.

 didn`t know they were making convertible wheel houses, please let me know where you are getting them from. In the past I have just bought hard top ones and cut off the lower few inches of them to replace the rusted area ( 65 ). Keep the pictures coming, great work my friend.

They aren't repopping them, I had to convince a fella to cut them out of a project he had with no vin or title, my negotiation skills worked.

There's one way to get things done! After all this work you will have a great Sport Deluxe. Make sure you check those A-arms for cracks around the ball joints.

I notice that it has a manual top (no C06 on the option list). The U.S. figures show that power top installation on Chevelles reached 41% in 64, 44% in 65, 51% in 66, 60% for 67, 64% in 68, 70% for 69 and 88% for 70. I'm not sure if Canadian installation rates were the same but I would expect them to be similar..

you have skills my friend. I know there are way more hard tops out there then rag tops but there still must be enough people wanting them to repop them
