Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
The install was easy because I followed another members post on here.http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=534214
It is for a 67-72 but was basically the same.

I just want to say thanks to everyone on this site for providing excellent information. It makes things like this so much more enjoyable.

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
It will be charcoal gray to match under the hood. I am also painting the door panels and the rear inner fenders charcoal gray. Maybe it will look ok.

Mounted the passenger seat today. Also ran the wires from fuse box to the seats. Now I have power seats.

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
Thanks guys. Chad that thing is so light in the rear it will hardly backup the hill in the shop. I am going to have to get on the stick if I plan on driving it to Clems.

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
plenty of time... not to worry.
its more important to keep the quality high and stay the course.

besides, worst case, roll her up on a trailer and hang out with us. the workmanship you've done will show how nice this truck is.

Thanks Clem. I plan on trailering it to a local car show this weekend. My wife teaches school at the location of the show and she will drive her 79 camaro up. All the young kids think it's cool that their teacher has a hotrod. I will enter my truck in the project class.
