The body of this 1966 Chevelle was in one shed on stands, while the frame was in a second shed, and still miscellaneous parts were in a third shed. It took some effort to get everything together, but it was eventually all sorted and Dennis had himself a project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dennis says that he performed the body work, engine build, paint, and the interior restoration by himself, an impressive array of skills for one person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
