Yeah, it will be better than nothing. Just trying to figure out which hydraulic fluid to use. The guy I got it from has the manuals, but has to locate them. Made several phone calls and searching the web. I call our equipment salesman and he said to run AW32 hydraulic. What do ya'll know about it.

I was just rousting you a little to see if your awake.:lol:

Alan,
I agree with Dennis, That lift is not what you need get rid of it and let me know when you do.....and where you put it...:lol:

Nice score and I'm sure you will figure where she will most be used at...:metal:

You'll be the first to know.;)

Me and Sdailey went to the Canton GA cruise today and here is a LINKY to todays pics.

Re: My 1965 build thread

Nice pics of the car show,thanks . Almost wish I lived in a more populated area. I'm digging the rat rod.:metal:

Re: My 1965 build thread

Good score Alan. When I go down to SC in Aug i'm going to have to stop buy and see your truck in person, and 198's truck. I've been chopping up the frame of my truck to build the back. I'm like you Alan I got a second job, 66 galaxy 500. He wants the frame and motor built, so extra money for the truck!

He's right. You should use Hydraulic Fluid. It doesn't create foam.

Right now I'm wishing I was up where you are. It's 100 with 150% humidity. Trying to clean the shop out and it looks like I'm washing down the floor from sweat dripping off of me.:lol:

There are different kinds. Of coarse the AW32 is the more expensive one. About $10/gal it looks like I'll need 4-5 gal. It's bone dry.

Wow that takes a lot of oil.:eek:

I was wrong about the fluid. The guy found the manual and called to tell me the capacity and type. It holds 6 qts of SAE 10W non detergent, non foaming hydraulic.

Got the shop cleaned up today and rolled the truck out in the sun for the first time.

Got the parts truck in and pulled the cab. It had some extra weight in it (column, glass, heater, clutch linkage etc) which threw off the balance, but it worked fine.

This rearend has about 20 feet on it and decided to start leaking.

I decided to just give these hoods away. I had to move them out of the shop. I don't have any plans for them. Thought I could help someone out. They need work, but might be better than what you have. I will list in for sale section under Various parts for sale in my link.

Re: My 1965 build thread

That orange is really looking good on my truck Alan ;-)

Awesome work! They didn't even look that nice from the factory!

Re: My 1965 build thread

It's looking really good alan, What's all wrong with the hoods?

Re: My 1965 build thread

I just saw the hoods, guess I should have looked first! mine is in better condtion

Now that side shot shows why the man-hours are so important (and expensive).;)

Mac. :chevy:

Re: My 1965 build thread

Man that's straight. Really good job Allan :metal:

Re: My 1965 build thread

alan i think you might make it to 100 pages
the truck looks great

Re: My 1965 build thread

Of course that is also the drawback, that smooth of a paintjob and everyyyyy body wants to touch it (with their sticky, greasy little fingers ;-)

Re: My 1965 build thread

Dont know if your still dealing with the headers but mine are from a 72 4wd blazer. They fit all the way around...i had to hammer tune one little spot over the engine mount

True Dat - my buddy put $30k into his black paint and body work (on his 65' SS Chevelle) and last summer at a street show down town some homeless dude did too quick of a turn next to it with a back pack, with huge buckles attached.

Took a couple of grand off that car's value in an instant. :sumo:

Man it reached about 110 yesterday with ridiculous humidity. We could only pull off 3 hours in the shop even with a fridge full of water.

It's been nice here. But the past few days it was too windy. Temps in the high 70's to 80.

Re: My 1965 build thread

Been thinkin about moving back to japan...its like 110 and 100% ...black flag most days

Re: My 1965 build thread

Lookin good alan I have been trying to work on mine but 112 degrees with heat index today is too much for me after working all day in it. Looks awsome man...

Re: My 1965 build thread

I think I've lost about 10 pounds in the last couple of days just from being in the shop!

Re: My 1965 build thread

I think I lost a few pounds walking the LA Roadster show/Swap Meet Saturday. :lol:

Re: My 1965 build thread

yeah today was not a good day to grind, cut, weld, or put a brake and clutch pedal assembly in a late model mustang.
when will i learn:dohh:

I need to sell the ones I bought before I get any new ones. BTW which engine perches are you running?

I remember the old car shows when nobody touched or even got close to the cars. I've been noticing lately that's not always the case now-a-days. For the most part most people know proper manners at a car show. Hate to have to put a car alarm on at a car show.:lol:

I completely understand. I just love it when we get a rain shower then the sun comes out. It's like a steam room with all of the steam coming up off the pavement and rolling in the shop.

Yeah I get home after a long hot day and spend some time with the family and dry out. It takes alot of motivation to go out and do it again.
