Default 1966 4 dr Hardtop Grocery Getter

Hello,
I was looking to get a new grocery getter and this deal fell into my lap and I couldn't pass her up. So she followed me home. My husband was out of town so it was the perfect time..LOL My kids think I am nuts but she will ride again Mad Max style.. So meet Hag-A-Rita the ghetto grocery getter. She was born in 1966 and is for the most part for her young age still hot and not all rotted out from rust. Her interior was attacked by age and will need a full blown Joan Rivers face lift Her little 383 stroker motor has seen better days but thankfully I stashed a beautiful 327 away for just this purpose..LOL So I gutted her out and took some picture's to post here I will have lots of questions for the Chevelle lovers and there wisdom's..

Thank You
Sheri aka (HAG)

Some more of her beauty before the pressure washing with lots of soap and water. Have boxes of parts and for the most part is all original. We do mostly 4x4 here and rock crawlers so this is a big change for me..lol Maybe I should put a roll cage in it and lift it...NOT

Cool!!! A 4dr hardtop. I like it.
I'm a BIG fan of the 4dr Chevelles. I just sold a '66 300 DeLuxe 4dr Sedan. And owned a '67 4dr Malibu for many years...
Now I've graduated to 5dr wagons.

Welcome HAG (love it !). I really like the look of the front end of a '66. I can't wait to see some more pics as you progress.

You said you mostly do 4x4's. It would be cool to see some of those pics. We talk about all kinds of cars/trucks here. Everyone is welcome !

Love it I will post some as my good friend gets her 67 Chevelle 4 door back this week but they had someone else work on it...I just clipped my claws for this project its been a while for me to get down and dirty...

Oh and that's our 18 year old son's new to him truck a 1972 he has stripped it down and done a frame up and made his own front bumper with the Chevy bow tie in it..He got it in Sept. for his 18th B-day and did the fastest frame off I have seen..LOL That thing was bad...Chevy ROT was bad..

We call that "Chevy Rot"....Michigan gold. Some of the vehicles up here in Michigan have so much Michigan Gold, that it is the only thing holding them together.

That '72 truck should be catching the attention of flash. He will be commenting on those pics. He has a '72 truck that he is working on too.

Well its funny I just don't do multiple projects that are not getting love and since I am the one who does most of the computer work and interior's and I AM MAMA so it all goes threw me.. I have controlled chaos and the dogs and cat and 2 roosters help me keep track of them..LOL Its a family affair we all hate to enjoy...And I will show you a picture of my supervisor position right in the Jacuzzi that overlooks the garage..LOL We do just our toys and it seems that we get them done play with them and someone wants them more then us $$$..LOL Tyler love's his new truck and worked his butt off he learned that he does not like body work..LOL I will keep this going but until I find a way to paint in the winter in my small garage (800 sqft) and heat it with out a fire It will be spring until the outside gets done but I can do some on the interior.. Already getting parts in that I know I need the weatherstripping is shot all the way around...

Here is Tyler's front bumper or Mad Max push bar, he made it from scratch and we are very proud of him. Started off as a 2x8 tube while his friends were playing on there XBoxes this is what he was making with his hands..No help from us..Just asked he not burn our garage down
