Hey Alan, looking good!!! About the headers, as another option for you, I used Summit G9014's. Smog header for 88-98, shorty. I had to weld up the O2 sensor port and they were tight on the drivers side, but I used the front position for the engine. In the back position you would have a little more clearance, I imagine. They turned out to be Pacesetter's.

Thanks for the info, but if I had too weld on them I couldn't get cermanic coated.

What gun did you use to spray the roof? I am thinking of getting those kits for my gravity feed that will spray upside down.

It's a Matco gun I think it's a 1.4. The tool guy was going out of business and got 2 of them for $100. It's not an Iwata or Sata but serves me well. The PPS system is awesome, but figure $.80-1.00 per liner. Clean up is awesome and no leaks and can spray upside down like you said.

i still have another year before i can drive mine
oh and wow 39 pages this is a long thread

Thanks man, I wonder how many pages I'll have when I finally put a tag on it? I could make it into a contest.:lol: Guess when it will be done. Money is a big factor.

Since I don't have any cars to work on now at work, I figured why not get something done on the old truck. Got some small parts painted black. Someday I will learn how too paint all of the edges. It drives me nuts. I walk around and make sure I got everything and hit the bake cycle. I go to get them out of the booth and there is a gray edge.

Sealed and painted the inside of the doors.

Re: My 1965 build thread

looks good i should have mine painted pretty soon (minus the bed)
are you planning on any stripes or two tone or just solid orange

Re: My 1965 build thread

I like looking at your thread, because your always doing something with it even if it doesn't matter right now. Mines at a stand still, no more money right now and I have to go back to work Monday so my trucks at my parents. 4 hours away so work wont get done much.

The roof and the area between the body side trim will be the same color as the frame and guage pods

Thanks man, I'm out of cash for a while, but there is always something to do that doesn't cost. That sucks your truck isn't at your place.:sumo:

I had to go out to the shop and do something. I prefitted the serpentine setup. I think I have the belt on right. The only issues I see right now are: I need a new water neck, the altenator bracket is very close to valve cover, but it does clear. Also the bracket at the #1 header port. Nothing major. I also had to put some bling on it to make me feel like I'm doing something.:lol:

I'm going to do orange highlights in the valve covers

http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/o...e/DSC09419.jpg

I couldn't help myself I had to do it. The speedo was in the house. I was too lazy to go get it plus it was raining.:lol: Also put the eyeball vents in for more bling.

Re: My 1965 build thread

Coming out really nice Allan. I like the color combo. I hope that's a reverse flow water pump your using. Just looking out for you. ;)

Thanks for lookin' out for me Dennis. You never know when I might do something stupid. It is a reverse flow pump. I have too take it off now and paint it. Just mocked everything up. Again thanks for the look out.

Re: My 1965 build thread

I can't remember where I got them. They are 8-9 years old. I still have the box, Billet Specialties PN 95226, but they don't list them any more. Here is a LINK to what they offer now.

Re: My 1965 build thread

Nice, nice, nice. Awsome work Alan.

Re: My 1965 build thread

AWESOME!!:metal::metal: Your teasing us. Hurry up and finish it.
I know you want it done more than we do. Time is the factor, HUH?. :lol:

Re: My 1965 build thread

Hey Alan,

On post 72 of your build page I see the holes for all the after market parts don't match up. I have that same dilemma and can solve that, but my front cab brace doesn't come out far enough to meet the outer or inner rocker. It is probably 1/2" short and is all the way out. Think i should try to go back and add on to it on the inboard side or bush over the bolts in the gap?

I'll post some pics on my post tonight.

Bob

Re: My 1965 build thread

Well you were busy the last couple days, while I was out goofing off at a truck show. It looks GREAT Alan!

Re: My 1965 build thread

Re: My 1965 build thread

NASA called and they said you've got to take out a permit to have something that bright here on Earth.
