1966 Plymouth Fury III Build

[johnscott311]

well i picked up a 66 fury about 2-3 weeks ago and decided i am going to fix it up.
i think it is a really good starting platform to make something custom and cool. we will see what you guys think when its done. i will try to keep this thread updated every day i work on the car. here are a few pics the day i brought it home.

decided to test fit some wheels that i had laying around and i really like the look of them!

i am having a few fit issues but have spacers coming in today!

i striped all of the lights off the front and repainted everything in the front flat black. here is a before and after. i plan on pulling the motor this weekend and doing the whole engine bay.

i decided to repaint the car a charcoal gray color and figured i would like if there were no side molding so i took them off and started the body work on the car.

the hood pins on this car looked completly disgusting. so i decided to weld up the holes and put a thin layer of bondo over them...

there is still some work to do on it but that will come with the final sand before paint.

What motor is in it? Looks like a small block with some mods.

I have the shop at the Army base to use.... but it would be nice to have my own garage and work on my Ny'er in shorts............like Stan does!

its a 318 with a weiand intake, 750 edelbrock carb, ported heads, big mutha thumper comp cams cam. it should run pretty decent!

I'm gradually in for one too, just doing a complete front axle overhaul with a workshop jack and the den my father built 40 years ago for some minor repairs, sucks a bit already.

17x10.5 and 17x9.5

the lift was the best thing i have ever done! i could do without the shop if i had a lift....but the shop is a really good thing, too!
