I've been looking for the correct Fan Shroud for the Biscayne as it didn't come with one......been looking on eBay and thru the repo catalogs.......
As I was cleaning out the garage today......look what I found......exactly what I needed.....it was off one of the other projects.......see..it pays to keep all that "Stuff"...lol

Pulled the Engine out today and took it to "Don's" in Kenosha for rebuilding.......






Now it down to removing the Bumpers, Grill,Inner wheel wells, etc so the car can go the body shop for paint....it's gonna be hard to paint it that same color....thinking of Sandalwood or Madeira Maroon, either of which will go good with the Fawn Interior.....any Opinions..........

Ken:
This car in any colour including just primer will look great. My last remaining 66 impala is Madeira Maroon so my vote does not count.However the 66 I received the most complements/ comments on over the years was a 66 biscayne with a fawn interior and I think the paint was called tropic turquoise.
That was a nice combo also

That's what I tried to say last night before the storm knocked me off-line!
Kevin came all the way from AZ to bring the car 'back home'. Man that thing is !
