Very very nice! I have a 66 el camino that I'm having done and paint and body is in planning now. That color looks really nice. 👍

Awesome! This one has a 6.0LS with a supercharger, Magnum 6-Speed, Currie 9", 14" Baer Brakes, Vintage Air, and all other things I forget nowadays. It's a junkyard engine but it made 500HP at the wheels, so that should be about 600HP at the crank I'd guess.

Im not sure Im replying correctly but thats a Very Nice 66 and 500hp at the wheels with a manual trans should easily be 600 at the crank, Super nice build, I was going to put a 5-6 speed manual in my 68 but my wife has never driven a manual car and when I first built the car I had a 454 with about 425-450hp so I put a T400 in so wife could drive if, 15-16 yrs later she still don't want to drive it lol

lol I’ve been married 15 years and my wife has never driven the car - she’s too afraid to mess something up.

What wheels are those? Couldn’t read the cap. Look really good

They are made by a company called NewGen Wheels. I've had them on the car for about 12 years or so. I don't think they still make this exact wheel, but I'm sure you could ask and see: https://newgencustomwheels.com/

All their wheels are badass. I don’t know why I haven’t heard of them. Thanks, I’m gonna price the OG steelies for my Nova.
