1966 Chateau Slate L78 Chevelle

Beautiful car. When you get some time can you straighten the garage a bit?! Just kidding your garage tells me your an attention to detail guy and a bit OCD like me!
Can’t wait to see this one done. What wheels and tires are you going with?

My eye goes all around those interior photos, having put together a few '66s. Very impressive in all areas. The door panels are very accurate, which vendor? Again, you've done an over the top resto here.

Hi Jer, Thanks. So I had bought PUI and just didnt like how puffy they were. Dont get me wrong PUI has a nice product, but at the end of the day the Legendary are much closer to the original Flat door panel like original. I had do some rework with the fold overs of the door material, but past that they are VERY good. Its kinda sad there isnt too much I buy that doesnt get reworked or tweaked as its installed on the car.

Thankyou, Im straying away from originality in the fact that im grabbing redlines from the 67 model year with 14x7 rims painted body color and correct 66 poverty caps. I feel it gives the car a more muscular look. I have some original mags but I decided to save those for a another 66 SS awaiting restoration.

Im not opposed to selling cars as I just sold a 71 LS5 this year but this L78 is so hard to replace Im not sure I could part with it unless someone started talking a ridiculous figure.

Hello all. After taking a full year off to remodel my entire house im back to working on cars. I finally got my seat covers pulled and installed them in the car. Like anything else on the car alot of fun details. I used over my seat adjust chrome handles. I also have the original lower seat trims that are colored black to match the seat. Something I found unique, the seat tracks were bare on the upper fixed portion while the lower feet section was painted black.

Ive finally completed all the aluminum trim around the care including the vinyl top trim. I sent off several sets before i got one that came back looking acceptable. Whatever original material GM used it tiger stripes really easy. Im such a stickler for detail i even had another grill done that had next to zero road rash and pitting. I redid this second one and put it in the car.
