I have several of those kits, and when I built mine, I did it as a phantom Z16 convertible.

Ron! I hope you saved that roof section! Because you can always use it as a base for a four door '65-'66 Chevy Impala Sport Sedan!

Same basic profile, just some tweaks here and there to make it right.

Also, this kit lends itself as you've shown to a very nice convertible. Malibu SS, or one with a good 'ole straight six in it, with dog dish hubcaps.

 I hit the parts bin & came up with these wheels & tires.I think I can live with this look.

I used to have a 65 Chevelle six cylinder bench seat someone had tricked it out with mag wheels and painted "Big Six" on it

I put a 396 in it muncie 4 speed hurst super shifter 12 bolt posi 4:88 gears holley 800 double pumper edelbrock manifold

the shifter barely cleared the bench, you could cover it with a jacket, and a quick glance inside showed the column mounted shifted that wasn't connected to anything

had these neat Y pipes mounted in controlled by choke cables under the dash, pulled them back and the flames bypassed the mufflers and came out just past the headers and right under the front of the doors

yup is was fun to drive and looked nothing like what it was it was a true sleeper

I've got a 64' w/383 stroker motor,turbo/shift kit,3:73 posi.Fun little car to drive.
