2 cool!!!!!! congrats!!!!!!!!!

jchav62 · 08-11-2009, 01:57 PM

So next is the body man. A friend of ours is going to patch the doors for us and do some other miscellaneous body work....if we ever decide to let him have it. We may want to drive it a bit the way it is....this has been a long time coming.

Until next time!!

Check her out...posting up old school style with one elbow out the window and one hand on the wheel... i love it! Looks great. Putting on those bumper brackets and bumper is definately a two person deal to get it lined up correctly. Keep the pics coming...!

joe231 · 08-11-2009, 04:25 PM

Very SWEET!!!!

that truck looks very cool!!

drive the wheels off of it and if/when you get tired of driving it....let the body man have it

Now that sounds like a plan!!

Strodder · 08-11-2009, 06:48 PM

Now that's a HAPPY couple.

shrunken66stroker · 08-11-2009, 10:48 PM

Nice work Joe. Are you going to rebuild the 350 or stick with the 283? The ram horns are classic looking.

Alan's Classic · 08-11-2009, 11:23 PM

Lookin' awesome

Looks ya'll are having a blast.

S10Fan · 08-12-2009, 04:23 AM

Sweet!

jason65 · 08-12-2009, 07:24 AM

Very nice. Great pics. Did you use repoped bumper brackets or did you have the real deal?

That 350 is toast. We haven't opened it up yet, but it left a good sized dent on the oil pan. We are sticking with the 283. It runs too dam good to mess with it...

The whole set up was repopped. We had to fight with it a little to get the holes to line up, but in the end it came out nice...

jchav62 · 08-13-2009, 12:32 PM

Well the truck's been running real good. There's a few minor things I need to take care of. A small leak on the tranny cooler line and a couple other small things...but for the most part she's running like a top! Lisa even let me drive it to work today! Everyone's loving it...

Yeah - well, don't get used to it.

Glad to hear everything worked out and another classic is back on the highway!

Mac.

jchav62 · 08-26-2009, 09:46 AM

A few updates... the other day, Lisa started to 'freshen up' her emblems... only one side so far. I think she did a great job... just needs the blue in the

jchav62 · 08-26-2009, 09:50 AM

Then she decided to get the door panels in... she sanded while I watched... then I sprayed them blue and we put them in. I used some stainless steel 'allen' type screws for Ace hardware.

jchav62 · 08-26-2009, 09:52 AM

.........

Still needs some touching up, but it's nice to have the handles and armrests installed...

frmula505 · 08-26-2009, 09:55 AM

Nice, I like the small details on the chromes. I'm contemplating what chromes to keep on mine.

jchav62 · 08-26-2009, 09:57 AM

Then on Monday morning she drove it to work... she's been driving it all week..

Here's a shot of here leaving... God was smiling on her too...a nice 'good morning' rainbow... and a shot of her arriving back home in the afternoon. I had a touch of the 'wine flu'

on Monday so I called in sick so I was able to wait around with the camera all day at home...

MacAttack · 08-26-2009, 10:19 AM

Man, you are so lucky to have a lady like that - gets right in there.

You folks make one heck of a team, your trucks are outstanding, and it looks like you live in a really cool neighborhood. All the best!

Mac.

jason65 · 08-26-2009, 10:26 AM

Trucks comeing along real good. It's good to hear it's getting driven every day.

Truck looks slick Joe, thanks for the pictures.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 08-26-2009, 11:05 AM

Sweet build thread she sure seemed to go together quick and the better half sure looks happy in her new ride..

65panelrat · 08-26-2009, 11:46 AM

Door panels look great, and emblems (wish I had painted mine as the aftermarket ones I bought have already faded). Love the smile on La Mona Lisa's face driving that cool 65', once again guys Awesome work!

P.S. Can I have your old door panel screws as my 57' is missing about 5 of em'?

Gracias
