Thanks Clem. It sounds sweet. We stopped the pipes at the mufflers for now and will run them out the back when I get the bed on.

Looks good. Its going to kill me to cover up my pretty floor after all that work scraping, welding, sanding, grinding and painting, but putting carpet over it anyways. I used whole roll on the firewall and figure the floor will take another whole roll and maybe part of a 3rd. Not sure what I am going to do with the back wall of the cab.

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
 
Almost got the doors ready to paint. I was wet sanding them and found a few small dings that needed some glazing putty. Maybe they will be ready in a few days. I will post some pics when I get them shot. :metal::metal:

Not been getting a lot of truck time but I did paint a door and fender. My floor light quit working after my first coat of clear and I could not see that well so I have a couple of runs to sand down and buff ou:sumo::sumo:t. :sumo:
Oh well if it was easy everybody would do it.

The door is the worst.

What is the seat from? Looks like a 2000-2006ish Silverado seat, which is what I was considering using. Plenty around, but I wasn't sure it would fit so have been hesitant to both sourcing one just yet.
