Thanks for check'n out my "Pro/Street" '66 Nova SS.  It was actually gutted and turned into a full-blown drag car back in the early 80's. Then in 1985 it was pulled into the shop were all the fluids were drained and it sat for 20 years

 

In 2005, the interior went back in, the wiring for all the lights was re-installed, and basically it was turned into a  "Pro/Street" car. I'm now in the process of finishing it. 

 

These first pictures show how it looked with the old 70's style Snorkel Scoop it had. (That ugly thing is long gone)

 And YES, that is a '67 nose on it. The car wasn't wrecked or anything,.......it was just a personal preference!
