Rednose 65...1965 chevy short step-side

[REDNOSE65]

This is my '65 Chevy. I bought it back in 1997. I started to work on it then, but I abandoned the whole project in 2000 unfortunately. I had too many (3)projects going on at the same time. I recently got back on it (as in a few months).My first and major goal is to get it back on the streets. I'm not building a "Show Stopper" I just want a good, running, practical, (and hopefully) "bad ass" truck.

Since I've been on this site, I've come across quite a few "bad ass trucks" in my eyes anyway , all with their own style. I haven't been on here long, but I've already been influenced by some their looks. I know this is a never ending game, because this aint my first rodeo. But as I build my truck I hope to , one day, be mentioned along with some of these cats:

The likes of
ChopperJohn, Doogie, Malibob, Bird7263, JChavez62, Frmula505, ChevyTruckNut, Hornet53, GGInferno, Harwaa, Markeb01 just to name a few...and please don't get ofennded if I didn't use your name...

AND I AINT RIDIN, JUST THAT GAME RECOGNIZE GAME.

With that being said, this will be my build-up thread. Thank you guys for the information you have shared with already and thanks in advance for advise to come.
