Re: My 1965 build thread
I'll respond to everyones comments next. I just want to post these before everyone goes to bed. I worked all day just sanding the inside of the cab and getting it to this point.
I didn't have any sealer so I used a silver base coat that was left over for a uniform color for the orange to go over. It is pretty transparent. Then the base coat Fighting bugs and low light conditions it turned out real good. Once I get some daylight on it I might change my mind.

Re: My 1965 build thread
Hey Alan, looking good!!! About the headers, as another option for you, I used Summit G9014's. Smog header for 88-98, shorty. I had to weld up the O2 sensor port and they were tight on the drivers side, but I used the front position for the engine. In the back position you would have a little more clearance, I imagine. They turned out to be Pacesetter's.

Re: My 1965 build thread
What gun did you use to spray the roof? I am thinking of getting those kits for my gravity feed that will spray upside down.

Re: My 1965 build thread
Congrats on staying busy. Wish I had that option. My world consist of going to work and coming home. I don't get out much. What I'm getting at is I don't have a network people that knows what I do, other than those who read this thread.
I don't get out much either. Remember I walk only 90' to my shop. Me being busy could all end at a drop of a hat. I'm getting known by word of mouth. I've only lived here 4 years. I lived in the Ventura, Ca area since 1977 and knew a lot of people, and don't know very many people here. You need to get that truck done, and hit the cruise nights, and car shows. That will get you going. My 56 Belair got me lots of work. Too bad I had to sell it to finish my shop. It was my calling card. Now I have to get my truck done to help get the word out.

Me neither. I want to set the gauge pods in so bad, but I will wait till I get the outside painted. You'll have to come check it out tonight. Are you sure about that. Be careful for what you wish for. Quote:

Re: My 1965 build thread
I forgot the headers they post aren't the header,s you will get. They dont have the right ones pictured, if you look back to the other post I sent you, it's those headers.

Re: My 1965 build thread
I like looking at your thread, because your always doing something with it even if it doesn't matter right now. Mines at a stand still, no more money right now and I have to go back to work Monday so my trucks at my parents. 4 hours away so work wont get done much.

I had to go out to the shop and do something. I prefitted the serpentine setup. I think I have the belt on right. The only issues I see right now are: I need a new water neck, the altenator bracket is very close to valve cover, but it does clear. Also the bracket at the #1 header port. Nothing major. I also had to put some bling on it to make me feel like I'm doing something. I'm going to do orange highlights in the valve covers I couldn't help myself I had to do it. The speedo was in the house. I was too lazy to go get it plus it was raining. Also put the eyeball vents in for more bling.

Re: My 1965 build thread
Coming out really nice Allan. I like the color combo. I hope that's a reverse flow water pump your using. Just looking out for you.
