I built this for my wife and it took me 8 years to complete. It is a fame off restoration.

Very nice job Les.  I'm near Battle Creek and am beginning my restoration of a 65 GS now.  Looking forward to the project!

Great looking '66 Les!
The '66 in my avatar is the same color combo, albeit a hardtop. Been in love with this car since 1981.
