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.
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.

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.
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

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!
