Abe is the man! I also need to take some shot of the inner door panels that were patched. He did awesome there too...

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
Joe you guys thought about two tone with the same blue color that she has already. that's a slick color imo...

 Actually, for this cruising season, I'm going to buy a couple of quarts of that "Paint Shop" paint that Duplicolor has, either White or Grey and do from the waist line down, and possibly the top and back of the cab. So it will have that blue on there for a while longer. Until we have the funds to repaint it completely. Something like this:

you should repaint it just like truck in the pic you poster showing your idea of a two tome paint scheme.ill admit i dont like two tone but on certain vehicles it does and i think your 65 would look nice painted that way

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

Just a note on the Duplicolor lacquer paint (or any lacquer paint) - it's a very easy paint system to use, even for a novice, and can be sprayed without a booth. It surface dries instantly and any defects can be corrected right away, and can be rubbed out to a fantastic finish. But - if you choose to do the truck over later with a professional quality hardened paint (like any of the urethanes) all of the lacquer will have to come back off first. It's makes a very poor substrate for anything but more lacquer. It's similar to dirt versus concrete. When dirt gets wet it turns into mud, and when it dries out it turns back into dirt. If you get concrete wet, it remains concrete (like hardened paint). You can reliquify lacquer by wiping it with lacquer thinner, and the strong solvents in hardened paint systems may dissolve the lacquer ruining an expensive investment in new paint (as well as making a big mess). I painted my truck inside and out with gloss black lacquer 10 years ago. Last year I repainted it and wasn't up to disassembling the entire truck again to remove all the lacquer, so I reshot it with unhardened tractor enamel because it's the only thing certain to go over lacquer without lifting it. If you just want something that's cheap and easy, lacquer is the ticket. Just use caution about doing the door jambs, inside the cab, or between the bed and cab, because it's going to mean a lot more work later when you can afford a better paint system.

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
Actually, lately we've been kicking around the idea of keeping that blue (or something similar) but with a pearl white roof and 'trim strip'. Who knows. As soon as we see another cool color or scheme, we will probably change our minds again.
Anyhow, last night was our 4th anniversary as a couple and when she got home I welcomed her with a card, a bottle of wine, a rose and her heater box...freshly pinstriped. She loved it!! Thanks D-Ray!! I'll be installing it this weekend.

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
Thanks for all the warm wishes everybody. I am a very lucky guy!
On Friday, after getting the heater core fixed by my buddy's Dad, I went home and installed the heater box. I couldn't wait to see what it looked like on....and for good reason....it looks b!tchen!!!

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
Love the heater box. One of the best looking I've ever seen.
On a side note, you might consider rerouting the fuel hose up the front or back of the head instead of directly over the exhaust manifold. It looks precariously close, but could just look that way in the photo.
