I couldn't wait another day.
I moved the 66 out of the barn/shop into the Costco Carport, and moved my 65 in.
We had about 5" of snow a few days back, and it caused a big mess. We live within a semi-forest of Douglas Fir Trees, and as every year, we lose lots of branches. This time huge ones came crashing down and busted up our back covered area. This made me very concerned. The costco carport may keep my truck dry, but it surely won't stand up to big fir tree branches. So I didn't want another weekend to go buy without getting my 65 into my barn/shop.
It's actually a good day.... Got my 65 back and ready to start turning bolts I haven't turned for over 25 years.
As I mentioned earlier, I will concentrate my efforts toward first getting her to be a mechanically trustworthy driver.
Then I'm going to see about getting a quart mixed up to match this color, and will just seal up the real problem areas.
Maybe do some patch panels here and there, and minor body work, but definitely nothing major.
I want to be able to drive her to work and back on really nice days this summer. Then, this winter I may dig into her deeper.
This is what the paint looks like wet - I like it.
