Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
 

I'll be back next week, been here almost three weeks. Sucks I cant leave hotel cause of security problems. Just have to stay in room figuring what to buy (looking at a Viper)

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
 

Wow! Looks Sweeeet guys! Mr. Abraham is a true Artist! I wish I had been there this weekend to lend a hand. I can't wait to see it all put together. :metal:

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
 

cool, sounds like a good plan to me!

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
 

Very cool!! Or you could buy me a 55 Chevy 2door H/T. :lol:

Be safe over there brother.

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
 

Abe is the MAN! I think that's been said a few times in this build thread... We are honored to have one of his paint jobs in the fleet. Makes me want to have one of those 'car show' signs made that people prop up by there cars...

1965 Chevrolet C-10
Shortbed Fleetside
283/700r4
"Paint and Body: Abraham Flores, Moriarty, NM" :metal:

Sounds like a job for "D-Ray"... :ito:

Oh yeah, "Custom pinstriping: Danny "D-Ray" Apodaca, Santa Fe, NM

:)

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
 

Thanks Hagery,

You've helped us plenty with this build! We appreciate it! The bed wood is next so be ready homes!

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
 

Can't forget Danny F (Abe's brother)... He helped dye the interior a couple Sundays ago... Seat and carpet. Thanks Dan!

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
 

Awesome work guys!!! I love the colors!!!!!!

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
 

Thanks! I can't wait to put the 'bling' on. Going back to Moriarty on Friday to do that...

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
 

Lisa, Abe and I ended up playing hookie from work last Thursday to go "assemble" the '65... :chevy:

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
 

Mr. Danny 'purdied up' the emblems... :metal:

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
 

Happiness... ;)

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
 

I can't wait to get to the point your at. It's the most rewarding part of the build. Looken good. :metal:

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
 

Thanks! Pictures really don't do that color any justice. That golden pearl really lights up in the sun. Lisa did a great job picking the color... We love it... We put a lot of miles on the truck this weekend. Had a blast...

You're right Strodder... it was very rewarding...

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
 

I like the color she chose also. ;)

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
 

Looks nice!!! :metal:

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
 

sucks that it's hard to see the pearl effect in pictures (can see it a little in the emblem pic), however it looks beautiful nonetheless!

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
 

Thanks guys!

She even let me drive it! :)

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
 

i like it! those are some pretty nice colors, cant even tell its the same truck! really nice job!!

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
 

Awesome Truck!!

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
 

Can't wait to see those trucks in person some day Joe! Nice work.

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
 

Dang that looks good Joe and Lisa, nice work.:metal:

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
 

We need to have a meet and great out here in the west. :metal:
That would really give me the incentive to at least get it on the road. :metal:

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
 

Road trip :metal:

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
 

yeah!!

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
 

Got back Thursday, They pulled us out early cause of a shootout between Cartel and Federales right in front of hotel we were staying at.

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
 

Dam that's scary! I'm glad you are home safe...

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
 

I posted a pic on this site.

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
 

I really enjoy this thread!
I showed it to my wife because not only does she help me with my projects (see our engine swap on my 66 Tempest in my CarDomain link) but she has her own 72 LeMans that she wrenches on.

I told my wife that if she doesnt work on her own car, then everyone will know that it is really MY car, I just let her drive it... after that she started getting her hands dirty :lol:

Great build tho, and congrats on it.
Glad to hear you got out of the shoot out safe and sound too... things are messy down there for sure!

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
 

Lisa's truck is looking awesome. You guys did a excellent job :thumbs:

I keep hoping someday, I'll have some shiney paint on one of my trucks :o

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
 

Sure came out nice man, the colors look great! Congrats.

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
 

Thanks all! She's been driving the '65 to work everyday. :chevy:

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
 

A little birdy told me you two were up to something. The trucks looking fantastic.

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
 

Wow, Hi Stranger. :lol:
