Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
I agree but these Twisted Vista's looked great on my 56 Belair.

I never cared for the looks of those cars till I saw yours. I love the lowered look.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Red & Black 2 tone with red interior. I'll add some pinstripping in silver also for a color division. Plus some old school stripping. That's a ways off though.

No more like this, only with red on top, and black on the bottom.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Yeah it tucks in nice. Mine will tuck even further than that with the bags I'm installing. Keep checking in. That's coming up next when I start on the frame again. Just have to finish the flare on the drip rail, and shave the hole for the speaker grill in the dash.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Thanks Jason. I just want to get it running and on the road. Then I'll blow it apart and paint it, but I'll do the inside and the frame first, before I drive it & paint the outside later.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
But I need an air compressor before I can do much more. Come on money tree. I'm thinking you'll be done first.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
friend of mine used a couple of propanetanks hooked up in series with a big water seperator and a realy small compressor he let it run for bout 2 hours to fill up the tanks before he started painting .
it worked pretty good no airpulses from the compressorpistons or water/oil in the air to ruin the flow out the gun the small compressor does have a shorter than normal lifespan running it that way but its cheaper to replace then a big compressor and has more use like lifting it up a stairs and use it to power a tacker or nailgun

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
i figured he answered to youre idea to paint the inside and run it as is for a while but if thats the case he could use a aircopump out of a certan year volvo ( think i still have that website somewhere if you need it ) or a CO2 tank with a regulator tied down in the bed for the time being ...... there a lot of guys doing it that way sumtimes because its cheaper than a pump but most of the time to get the bags filled a LOT faster

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Soon I'll be getting back on it. I will still use all the crap of the 73. But some things I have to spend money on. Like the A/C, paint, Upholstery, Engine Machine work, and tires. The ones on there are rotten. I still haven't sold the F*ckas. That Used Car Dealer asked his buyer, and he said they will only give me $4,000 for it. I'm trying a little longer to sell it. My price went down to $5,000. I hate looking at it in front of the house. Not one call from Craigs List.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
They are 15x7 front and 16x8 in the rear. I would love to have 17" all around though.
