Re: The 1960 - 1966 Member Introductions

Been lurking for a long time...
1965 SWB, totally, completely built my me, owner. Never have I done a build before and I am determined to do 'everything' myself !
2 1/2' drop spindles, 3' lowered rear springs, disc brakes- front, near 500HP 383ci stroker, custom paint w/ lace, custom cloth teal/gray interior and dash and guages, custom tail gate, welded solid, 3" Flowmaster exhaust, 411 rear gears, custom wheels, fatty BF Goodrich tread, 2 fuel tanks, 22 gal. for pump gas and 5 gal. of race gas. Hedman headers, 7 qt oil pan, TH350 trans w/ oversized oil pan, oil/trans coolers, brake line lock, battery w/cut off switch in bed, tonneau cover. Owner has done everything but build the engine and trans. Are they ever done,, not !
The very most challenging part, seats and door panels... I gave up twice ! Completely started over 2 times, tossed the upholstery and redid it 2 times, finally finished it on the 3rd try. I have never done anything like this before !
