Almost finished

[Forklift]

Been working on my 1966 belvedere for about six year. My dad had a used car lot and traded for it in 1970. This is the only car he didn't sell. I wanted to get this ready for him and let him drive in the local parades. I lost my dad Feb. 26 he was 85.I hope he likes it if he can see it.

Nice looking 66 . . . gives me a whole lot of motivation for my 67 that I'm working on . . . so sorry for your loss - but I'm sure your dad's smiling down on you, you did a fantastic job ! !

Wish you were a little closer, I'd be stopping by to get an up close and personal view of the car . . . come to think of it, when it's time to start putting mine back together again, I might need to come take a look so I can figure out what I've forgotten over the years of working in the restoration . . .

Starting to show car and it is doing very well. Most people don't know what it is because there is no badging.
