Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
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...

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
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

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
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.

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

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

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
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...

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.

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
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

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
It's been a while since I posted... Here's a little update. A couple Friday's ago I removed the seat and installed some "flooring" in the truck. Started off by laying in the tar sound deadener...then some 'jute' padding finished with a carpet kit that she scored on Craigslist a while back
. Here's some pics...

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
The plans are to patch the dash back to original and install one of those 'retro looking' modern stereos, but for now, since the dash was already cut for it, I put in a Pioneer CD player that she had stashed in the garage so she could have some tunes while cruising... it had some 6x9's in the kick panel vents. I wasn't sure how good they were, but when I hooked them up, they sounded great!

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
That same evening, Lisa and her '65 made their car show 'debut'.
"Cruise Night on the Plaza" here in Santa Fe. They have about one show in month in the summer and we were able to catch the last one for 2009. Lisa was in the '65, Fred followed in his '54 (now dressed in Rustoleum Satin Black) and me in the '62...

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
A couple days later, on Sunday, we hopped in the '65 and drove down to Albuquerque to a little Rockabilly carshow/get together called the "Greaser Roundup". It's about a 120 mile roundtrip and the truck did great!

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
Since then we've been chasing a few bugs... small issues with the starter and carb. It doesn't stop us, we had the truck out all day yesterday...Cruising and enjoying. Everything's cherry!
