Hey!
newbie here in Nor Cal and have been lurken for about a month in here so thought Id finally add and say Hi!

I just picked up this 66 its pretty clean but since I have NO history on it its gonna be a bit of a challenge (welcomed). I've owned lots of chevy trucks over the years but this is my first "60's". First things I plan on doing is; redoing the wood in the bed (any good web sites?) re painting it (not bad, just want to freshen it up) then I may powder coat the rims white to match (the inner blade part anyway) also a bigger carb.
So that's it, hope to see some of your rides soon...
