Got my harness in and installed!!! A buddy came over and helped me fire the beast off. It sounded sweet with the short pipes.

Thumbs up Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
That was a good decision getting the second downer truck, makes for much better progress and quality of the build. You don't mention what you are doing to deal with the rust you are covering up with repair panels. I'm driving and building on my '64, makes for slow progress.

I am not covering any rust up. Everywhere that I put in a patch panel I cut the old rust out first then made a panel to fit the cutout and welded it in. And yes it makes it a lot easier if you have spare parts.
