Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.

Good progress. That motor looks like a runner. It'll be cool seeing pics of his and hers trucks together. Do y'all have a color or look picked out yet? The only thing missing was the pics of shop supplies.

Glad to see I'm not the only one that uses a spare tire for a part-time engine stand.....

Nothing works better to haul in engine in the back of your pickup! That tire actually saved our butts. When we first unloaded the engine out of the back of the truck, we were positioning the cherry picker in front of the '65 to push the truck under the engine. The truck rolls alot easier in the dirt than the cherry picker. Anyhow, while jacking it up the chain snapped. Luckily, the tire was still on the ground right under. The motor fell from about 3 feet. Scared the crap out of us!! No damage was done. Thank God for them part time engine stands!

The same ones. She bought the matching air cleaner for it so we kinda had to get the same kind. I'm thinking about painting the black in the fins Chevy orange.

Same - same when we were going from the engine dolly to the stand and had to make some adjustments to the hanger chains and leveler. Only dropped a few inches, but had to go change my shorts shortly thereafter.

For a while it's going to stay the same blue it already is until all the patching and body work is done. She has a few colors in mind. She also wants to run the side trim so it will have a two tone pattern.
