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
It's called an operating room. :haha: The camera hides alot of stuff. Yes the frame and top of the cab is the same color. Thanks David.

Thanks Jason, yes I plan on painting the area in the mouldings the same as the top.

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.
Thanks Scott, it's all labor right now. I need to sell some stuff so I can afford more parts. But I have plenty to keep me busy for now.

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!!

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?

protrash64 05-21-2009 11:13 AM
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:

joe231 05-21-2009 11:14 AM
Re: My 1965 build thread
 
I tried the side to side thing, angle was wrong I believe....

:confused:....I cant see the frame to be sure, Joe. I know I wouldnt have been afraid to drill if it needed it:lol:. My truck is too low to get under it and look up into the X-member to know for sure. I'll find out eventually when I pull the engine for upgrades.

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?

The towers are from CPP and that was the only place they would fall in and line up. I'll mock everything up like the radiator and fan and see where I'm at. It will be a while cause I don't have the parts yet.

Thanks man!! The bumpers and grill will be the gray color.

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.

Come on. I don't have any cash either, but there is plenty of work to do.:lol:

Re: My 1965 build thread
 
What radiator and fan are you running. My motor is pushed up because of the SD raised crossmember. so I just need a little help on it!
