Thanks Clem. It sounds sweet. We stopped the pipes at the mufflers for now and will run them out the back when I get the bed on.

Thanks Don.
I hauled it to the muffler shop but I did drive it on and off the trailer. And across the highway in town. I got a few looks. Haha

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy

Almost got the doors ready to paint. I was wet sanding them and found a few small dings that needed some glazing putty. Maybe they will be ready in a few days. I will post some pics when I get them shot.

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy

What is the seat from? Looks like a 2000-2006ish Silverado seat, which is what I was considering using. Plenty around, but I wasn't sure it would fit so have been hesitant to both sourcing one just yet.

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy

Yes it is a 2000 silverado seat. I bought a wrecked truck and I am using the motor,trans, and the bucket seats. I was going to use a middle jump seat out of another truck but is was a little wider than I liked. The console will fit just fine. The jump seat was about 3 inches wider.
