Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
The show was good!! There were about 130 cars or so. My wife's camaro ( that's what I tell her) got a 1st place. She was happy.

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
Thanks! The show got me wanting to make some progress on my truck. So I started taking the bed apart. Man that is a job! 95 degrees is almost to hot for me but I made a little progress.

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
yesterday was hot… changed oil in the daughter's car, moved all my steel scrap so I could relocate the frame I got from ya… getting ready to rip it apart for clean & paint...
![]() Then helped my son with some motorcycle chain maintenance and check his GF's car to find a fried pass door window motor… so no truck progress as the heat had me wore out by that time... ![]() I do believe summer in Arkansaw has finally arrived... ![]() Glad to see you make some progress... ![]()

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
Finally got some shop time. Stripped the cab down getting everything ready to take to get sandblasted. Also did a test panel for the color of the truck. I was thinking grey with a red or black stripe. What do y'all think?

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
The color looks good in my opinion. I think black would look good with it....red depending on how the rim/tire combo looks. Nice job on the disassembly and should be quick work to get it all back together!!!

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
I brought the truck home from getting it sand blasted. I have a few more places that will need some rust repair but not that bad. I will post some pics up later.

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
Still trying to pick a color for the 65. I sprayed a silver and kinda liked it. What do y'all think?
