Re: My 1965 build thread
sorry Alan, I just now learned about Rep Points. I did not know what that was for. Now that I do, I think I will be more up on doing that for times I see good info and stuff. Your thread has been worth more that any amount of points I could give you. Keep up the GREAT JOB :metal:

Re: My 1965 build thread
Hey Alan did you already cut the holes for the AC in your dash or are you putting one in?

Got alot done today. Sdailey came over and helped set the cab on the frame and hang the doors. I've been waiting for this moment for a long time. Now what do I do LOL. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...b/DSC09760.jpg http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...b/DSC09761.jpg http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...b/DSC09763.jpg http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...b/DSC09767.jpg |
Re: My 1965 build thread
Christ man! you have done more this week than I have managed this year. That is looking great..... now I see a 3000 mile break-in cruise so you can see the burb without snow, throw some brats on the fire and, clank a couple long necks to toast a job well done.
ok that may be a bit of a stretch but seriously NICE job. Josh |
Re: My 1965 build thread
Today I also worked on the brake booster assy. For now the only thing that got painted is the booster bracket. The booster will be the same color as the roof.
Before cleaning http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...s/DSC09746.jpg This the etch primer that I used. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...s/DSC09750.jpg http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...s/DSC09752.jpg http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...s/DSC09755.jpg Started too mount this adapter bracket and noticed all of the holes behind it. Only one of these counter sunk screws goes into a nutplate. It looks like I have to put a nut on the other two. I don't remember alll of this from two years ago. I took pics of the outside, but not the inside. Does that sound right or am I missing something? I've got my brake pedal hanger installed. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...s/DSC09768.jpg Centered up the trans and drilled and mounted the crossmember http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...y/DSC09756.jpg Measured from the center crossmember http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...y/DSC09758.jpg I wonder why I have so much clearance from the distributor to the fire wall. I'm not complaning. I just figured it would have been closer. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...b/DSC09762.jpg |
Re: My 1965 build thread
I would come help you Alan, but I can"t work with white cotton gloves on...
How can you do all that work in one day and not get one finger print, smudge, grease spot or anything anywhere? Hell I can't open my beer without them little grease finger prints on the sides of the can. :lol: Is the frame and the top of the cab the same color? I'm amazed:metal: Very sharp work |
Re: My 1965 build thread
Looks awsome! Are you gonna put a grey stripe down the side between the trim?
|
Re: My 1965 build thread
Man Alan thats looking good!! At the rate you going on that you can drive it to our meet! :lol:
The firewall to engine clearance is about what i have on mine too. I know i would like mine to be closer but oh well. |

Re: My 1965 build thread
maybe the angle of the pic, but it looks like you wedge is turned 90 degrees from where it should be....the studs should be horizontal
http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...s/DSC09768.jpg like this one http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...akebooster.jpg or is it the vertical style bracket???? |

Re: My 1965 build thread
oops, I meant the bolts should be horizontal....
damn you no editing after a few minutes (shakes fist at the screen) :devil: |
Re: My 1965 build thread
Alan, you have the engine mounted in the front holes thus the clearance behind the engine. Pointing it out in case you want to change it, but it works for me. You mite run out of space at the radiator depending on your mounting location. I believe the factory had two ways of mounting the radator; mine is against the core support so I have no issues. Heads up!!

Re: My 1965 build thread
I tried mount our towers in the forward holes, but would have had to drill new holes in the cross member for it to work....is that how you did it Jeff?
|
Re: My 1965 build thread
I dont remember Joe...too long ago. I know I slotted the holes a bit for some adjustment and I was careful to make sure the holes for the motor mount bolts stayed in the same relative width. Im wondering if I flipped them from side to side????? I'll have to look.:smoke:
|
Re: My 1965 build thread
I tried the side to side thing, angle was wrong I believe....

Re: My 1965 build thread

Re: My 1965 build thread
Man that does look nice. I remembered reading somewhere that the bumpers would not be chrome. Are they going to be orange or the same color as the frame/top of cab?
|
Re: My 1965 build thread

Today I sanded down the inner fenders, headlight mount panel, cowl side pieces and glove box door. I wasn't happy with the way they turned out so hopefully I will get them painted tomorrow. |
