New Member 66 300 Project

[Gruney]

I purchased a 1966 300 2DHT in March. It needs a lot of TLC! The car has not been driven in 20 years, and it needs all the usual repairs and then some. Here is what I've replaced so far:

Gas tank & Sender
Water Pump
Master Cylinder
Tail light assemblies
Ignition Coil
Starter Relay
Ballast Resistor
Thermostat Housing
Thermostat
Radiator Hoses
Carburetor
Floor Pans
Side Mirrors
Intake Manifold Gasket
Valve Cover Gaskets
Tires
Battery Cables
Throttle Cable
Spark Plugs
Transmission Filter & Gasket
Transmission Shift Shaft Seal

and there's more to come


Here are some photos of her progress.

Unfortunately it doesn't look much better. Working on rusted floor pans now.

The interior looks amazingly good when compared to the exterior.

Welcome,
Are those 15" wheels? Disc Brakes?
Is your plan to restore or be a driver?

They are 15" wheels, power drum brakes. I am trying to make it a reliable driver.

I bought the C2C floor pans and some 18 gauge sheet metal.
