Looking good. I just wanted to say I appreciate your long detailed videos. They help a lot. This one video was sped up and I got lost for a second. You're the only detailed information on KZfaq for the 66 impala and I appreciate all you do on this car. I can appreciate the fact that you run into problems and still work past them. It teaches us what to look out for. I say all that to say the length of the video doesn't matter as long as we get all the information we need out of it. Keep doing what you been doing! I'm sure everyone else appreciates it as much as I do. Thx

Gracias Carnal,your giving me motivation to finish my 66 by myself. Nobody wants to help when they look like rust bukets but want to ride in it when they are done.

I have a 66 Caprice that has been restored, but I would like to do a little work on the front end just to clean it up a bit. Your videos have been great! Really helping me with disassembly and reassembly. Thanks!

Excellent job, man! I have an identical year Caprice that is running and driving. Although not a complete ground up build, I will be taking pieces and parts off of her to inspect, clean , shine , replace and/or respray primer. These videos help me to figure out what goes where and how to put it all back together. Piece by piece is all we can ask for (on a limited budget) and you have inspired me to keep going! 🤘🤘

For the grill I think I used 1/4 size bolts and nuts, for the lower valance I can’t remember, I just tried out bolts that I had in my tub of bolts to get a size comparison and went to a hardware store and got them all
