sucks that it's hard to see the pearl effect in pictures (can see it a little in the emblem pic), however it looks beautiful nonetheless!

jchav62 · 10-03-2011, 03:41 PM

Thanks guys!

She even let me drive it!

chad64chevy · 10-03-2011, 06:48 PM

shrunken66stroker · 10-03-2011, 09:39 PM

Can't wait to see those trucks in person some day Joe! Nice work.

4dranch · 10-03-2011, 09:48 PM

Dang that looks good Joe and Lisa, nice work.

We need to have a meet and great out here in the west.

That would really give me the incentive to at least get it on the road.

I really enjoy this thread!
I showed it to my wife because not only does she help me with my projects (see our engine swap on my 66 Tempest in my CarDomain link) but she has her own 72 LeMans that she wrenches on.

I told my wife that if she doesnt work on her own car, then everyone will know that it is really MY car, I just let her drive it... after that she started getting her hands dirty

Great build tho, and congrats on it.
Glad to hear you got out of the shoot out safe and sound too... things are messy down there for sure!

**Captainfab** · 10-05-2011, 01:20 AM

Lisa's truck is looking awesome. You guys did a excellent job

I keep hoping someday, I'll have some shiney paint on one of my trucks

fryer1979 · 10-05-2011, 05:28 AM

Sure came out nice man, the colors look great! Congrats.

jchav62 · 10-06-2011, 09:48 AM

Thanks all! She's been driving the '65 to work everyday.

Looks GREAT!
Congrats!!

It's been a long time since I've posted on this thread. We've just been enjoying the truck. Anyhow, we've been fighting a blow-by problem with the 283.... stinking up our cruises. After trying a few things to bypass the problem, nothing helped. It was either pull it out and go through it, or replace it. So I jumped on Craigs to see what was out there. Ended up finding an ad for a freshly rebuilt 327 longblock, never fired for $700. So I called the guy... he said he had no use for it. We're in Santa Fe and the engine was in Albuquerque so I called my buddy to go check it out. He called the guy and talked him down to $500 over the phone! We couldn't get down there fast enough. We got a killer deal... She's super clean and going in the '65 real soon...

Nice score Joe...
