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

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

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
Very cool ride. Really like the color, and attention to detail, that is one sweet ride. Should get a custom plate on the back that says NOT HIS.

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
I love this truck and the fact that everyone works together to get it running and then painted. Good luck on your engine swap and hopefully the 327 will be an excellent engine for you. I also love the color scheme.
