Re: My 1965 build thread
Thanks Joe
I just want to let everyone know I won't be getting anything done for the next week and a half. My family and I are going to Missoula Montana for Christmas to visit her family. While there I hope to hook up with jonzcustom and runninlo. I want to wish everyone Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I hope to get alot done once we get back. I have a few days off before I have to go back to work.

Wish us luck, we leave tommorrow and fly thru Denver then up to Missoula. We don't get out much, so if you see a couple with 2 kids that look frazzled well that might be us. Merry Christmas everybody.

Re: My 1965 build thread
Well the trip has come and gone. Except for airport delays everything went great. We got to see and play in alot of snow.
While there I was able to hook up with Jonzcustomshop (right) Also able to meet Runninlo (left) It was very cool to see your projects up close. You two are some cool dudes. I wish I lived closer so I could pick your brains for more info. There is alot too learn from ya'll. I also wish I could've stayed longer, but time constraints prevented that. Want too wish everyone a Happy New Year!!! Now it's time to get back to work after we unpack. Still waiting for our luggage to show up. The airline is bringing it too us this afternoon.

Re: My 1965 build thread
I looked cold cause it was cold (too me). I was also dodging snowballs. I can't believe people were weaing shorts up there. They wouldn't last long in a sultry August down here. Me and cold weather don't get along very well. As you could tell. It took 30 minutes for my toes to get their feeling back from when we were talking outside before we got in the truck.

Re: My 1965 build thread
Man is my head really that big? I'm a goofy son-of-a...
Alan it was really nice to meet you. As I expected as a board member you are a real class act. I too wish I had more time away from work to visit. I agree with Jon Z. that a summer visit is in order. I have a spare cycle or maybe take the old bow-ties for a cruise. Next time for sure. I promise I'll have better heat and the sheetrock will be done for next time too. Josh

Re: My 1965 build thread
Block Party Everyone's invited. JK Ya'll would be interested until I told you what you needed to bring,......sanding blocks I don't like days like today. I spend 7-8 hours sanding, sanding, and more sanding. I did get the dash ready for primer. I'm trying to get the cab ready to prime the final time. I had forgotten about all of the little spots that needed attention. Since the dash took so long. Seam seal still needs to be finished. These pictures are about as boring as this post. Happy New Year everyone!! Digging the old seam seal out (sand blaster doesn't get it). Repairing pits from deep surface rust. Ready for sealer The dash is ready for primer.

Re: My 1965 build thread
I was just thinking about that motor.....Yeap, that would be an awesome idea to run it as a cold-air intake.
I would defiantely consider it....plus you would keep the cowl free of leaves and crap !!

I am on the Cold Air Intake side of the fence. It would be a nice feature to add.

Re: My 1965 build thread
Alan,
I am in agreement with Captainfab. But honestly with your skills you could make either work, and make it turn out nice.
