besides, worst case, roll her up on a trailer and hang out with us. the workmanship you've done will show how nice this truck is.
Thanks Clem. I plan on trailering it to a local car show this weekend. My wife teaches school at the location of the show and she will drive her 79 camaro up. All the young kids think it's cool that their teacher has a hotrod. I will enter my truck in the project class.

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
Thanks guys. We had a big time. Just had 3 of our trucks there. Had more 55-57 and 67-72 trucks. But there was a big variety of cars and trucks. Got to see some folks I have not seen in a while and meet some new people. I normally would not show my truck. I just like driving it to the shows and looking. Thanks for checking in.

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
Well the fun is over and it's back to work on it. I am in the process of making the hood straight. I am not real fond of body work but it has to be done.

Well if I was striving for perfection I don't think I would ever get done.

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
So is the bed still in waiting mode due to the fun involved there???

I started on mine, then decided to do the hood, then get back to the bed...

Hood's done so I guess the bed is next...

Yea the bed sides are ready for final blocking and wet sanding. I am saving the bed for last. I am trying to get the hood done and mounted by September 14. That is when I am taking it to get the interior. The interior is getting a console built, carpet, and one seat repaired.
