If I move agin, I will look into it then. I move a lot (6 states in8 years). The Army keeps my family pretty mobile. My daughter only keeps what she can physically carry (extra stuff) toys and things like that). I am blessed to have such an understanding and dedicated family. They sit patiently while I go conduct business and seldom complain about moving.

I am a long time faithful Painless wiring fan/installer. It's the only harnessses we use in our shop. I've been wiring customs for 20 years and they seem to stay on top of it.
My personal project uses the 18 circuit chassis harness, the tbi fuel injection kit and the new Phantom Key system.(thinkI added 200 lbs in just wiring! LOL)

Re: 60-66 pictures thread index

New to this Great forum, I found it accidentally.

Like I say, some of the best roads I have ever been on,
were because of a detour.

I did a frame off on my '62, took me 8 month's to complete.
It was my first attempt at a vehicle.
A true labor of Love.

Of course you would, you've got a similar setup on your truck...

But I have to agree that the second photo is indeed the best of the three.

Re: 60-66 pictures thread index

Thanks for the comments on wheels dudes. I have big changes in mind at the beginning of the year. Just bought GM moldings still in the packages, a set of 22" centerline smoothies, and just talked to Dino about bagging my 65 hopefully before the March Goodguys. May not be worthy of a build, but I'll post pictures on here with progress!
