Clyde's '65 BBW "Bonnie"
Ok so I had started a build thread for this truck but some things have changed and wanted to start over on my personal account. So here we go again
I picked up this '65 a little over a month ago. She started out her life as a Doran Chevrolet service truck. She's got a 283 that's seems fairly strong. I will run it for now until I get to that stage. Eventually she will be bagged with the works but for now. Its going to be static drop with big brakes, rims, new wiring, etc http://i1367.photobucket.com/albums/...s8tpsaxho.jpeg |

Also knocked down some surface rust and got a nice patina look. I plan on painting her down the road but for now this will have to do

I have the rims but I'm still have to get tires but not sure what route I want to go yet. Went with 17x8 in the front and 17x9 in the rear

Re: Clyde's '65 BBW "Bonnie"
What did you use to get rid of the spray paint?
I've got a patch of black spray paint on my rear fender that I would like to see gone. |

Re: Clyde's '65 BBW "Bonnie"
Started on running the new ebrake lines but needed to do some research on the final steps so I moved on to replacing my harness. Now I'm debating on restoring my cluster

Re: Clyde's '65 BBW "Bonnie"
Haven't had too much time to work on the truck but with a hour here and there I've managed to get some more electrical done. Removed the power booster someone converted the truck to. they kinda hacked up the firewall a bit. I'll have to fix that down the road when it gets body worked and painted. http://i1367.photobucket.com/albums/...psfjs5knb8.jpg

I came across a intake and carb for cheap so I decided the engine could use a make over
