This '66 289 coupe was my wife's 1st car. My father-in-law & I are restoring it as a joint project, as this has always been his dream. He's in charge of the creative side, I'm the technical guy. Basically a concours resto with a safety upgrade to manual front disks/dual bowl master, some additional underhood chrome, the basic Eddy performer upgrades, & GT duals.
This car got the full ECI treatment, and the plan WAS to bring it back from the body shop & re-assemble ourselves. BUT, we got busy with our move to MA & so my body man will re-assemble instead. It s/b done by the fall.
My boys & I took the engine & stuff there last Sat, and I snapped a few cell phone pics.
To illustrate how long this project has been in the works, the attached pic is from when we first stripped the car down to kick off this fiasco. My oldest is in the pic - now he's the guy in the maroon shirt in picture 2.
