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

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.
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!

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
Great pictures, I wanted to make the last plaza get together. I can't remember what happened. I think I was working in the garage, and had already drank a few beers.

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

Thanks! It was just some local guy with a posting on Craigslist. I think she paid $75 for it. It's a nice quality carpet too. Tightly woven, stitched edges, formed nicely with padding already on it.

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
Thanks all! Like I said...We are still chasing the bugs out. Tomorrow we'll be putting in a new starter. There's also been some issues with the fuel. If the truck sits for even a day, the fuel line completely drains out... It's like running out of gas and trying to re-prime the system daily. I may try an electric fuel pump to solve this problem. I also have to chase down a couple oil leaks. It's all a part of the fun! I'll keep you's posted. Later....jc
