Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Yes, I welded all of the gaps. It took a while, but I think it will be well worth it.

Thanks David. That would be nice to see it in print, well see. I'm a little over an hour from Dalton I think. I'm about 15 minutes south of Jasper.

This is what me and sdailey got done tonight. We sprayed the inside of the cab back panel with the sprayable seam sealer. It actually turned out great.
It took 2 tubes and that was barely enough. I wish I had one more to get it a little thicker. It looks thick but if you look on the paper you can get an idea of how much is actually on it.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

I am just curious, why did you use a sprayable seam sealer on the entire back wall fo the cab? Is it for sound deading properties or ??

Looking good, I just wish I had half your skills....

Anyway, you are making me wish my shop was done (its not even started yet) so that I could work on my '65...:waah:

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Awesome work Alan! Keep up the good work and keep those pics a flowin.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

That cab spray is fantastic. Great texture!

Mac. :chevy:

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

I did it mainly to cover the back side of my welds on the cab corners since I was too lazy to dress them down. :lol: It is also a good sound deadener and looks alot better than dyamat. Thanks for the compliment. ;)

Thanks and you know I will.

:metal:

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Alan strikes again...nice work.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Thanks Tony

I struck a pretty good deal I think on this aluminum radiator that a friend of mine took out of his 72 Chevelle. Now I have to figure out how to mount it. Hey Shannon you got an old 67-72 core support and top radiator hold downs still?

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Nice score Alan,
Ooh and if anyone could fab some supports and hold downs it's you.:lol:

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Lookin really good!!

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Why yes I do. I even have an OE radiator if the aluminum one doesn't work out.;)

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Is it rusted out I need it for parts.;)

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

I got something in mind.;)

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

I never doubted that for a minute.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

:thumbs:

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

I have my original one that you can scrap if needed. I also have the one that came off the '72 that you/we got from Chris, but I'll probably keep that one for myself.:lol:

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Is it the one that is leaning up against the cab?

I've got some bungee cords laying around here, but you'd have to pay shipping:lol:.


...nice work on the cab.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Thanks man, I'll keep you in mind if my plan fails. Do those bungee cords come with a roll of duct tape? :lol::lol:;)

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

:haha:......didnt think of the 'tape'.


..........seriously, nice work on the the truck.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Alan, I had an idea for my gas tank supports. And since it seems you want to put a speaker back there I thought I would share with you. I plan on making a speaker box in roughly the same shape as the gas tank. I figured it was long enough to put maybe a 8" or 10" speaker in the middle and mount the amp on the box to the right of the straps and a capacitor on the left. I also planned on using the gas tank straps to hold it in place. I want to use the old velvet and resin trick to smooth it out nice so it can be painted to match the interior. Haven't done it yet, but that is the plan anyways.
