Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
Progress....
Now I'm a guitar playing wrench turner... not a photographer so there's no pics...just a story...  Yesterday we towed the '65 to the shop and yanked the pos 350 out. Dusted off and touched the old 283 and dropped her back in. This time with a flexplate/starter combo that actually works. Fred jumped in there and dropped the the distributor and ran the plug wires. The Edelbrock carb won't work on the stock manifold without an adapter. He taped up the manifold, cut some slits, sprayed some carb cleaner and fired it up....she roared for a second. We just wanted to hear that it had life...I was certain it did, but you know how it is. After that we towed it back to the house. I'll be sneaking out of work early today to button it up... We are very happy...

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
So I left work early yesterday to put everything back together. All went smooth...Lisa came home with some oil, put that in and fired it right up! We had a little vacuum leak at first that was giving us problems. After fixing that, we fired it up and it sounds very smooth and solid...winds up really quick too! We are extremely happy now...Lisa we'll be cruising it very soon...
Some pics were snapped, but I forgot the camera...I'll post them later...JC

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
Great going looks good. One question did Fred buy that 54 from Orlando. It sure looks familiar.

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
On Saturday morning...my buddy came by and got me out of bed early so we decided to go out and mess with the truck...
We warmed up by putting on the driver's sideview mirror...

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
No leaks...no squeeks... This is a very solid truck. Handles very well. After getting into town and getting some gasoline, she let me drive..
Those smiles say alot... we are extremely happy to be driving the '65...

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
After our little cruise, we came home. I was still very excited calling everyone to tell them the good news. Fred, who's a mailman now, finished his route and came straight over... we pulled the truck out again and made a beer run to celebrate...
Fred's turn to drive...
