Rednose 65...1965 chevy short step-side

This is my '65 Chevy. I bought it back in 1997. I started to work on it then, but I abandoned the whole project in 2000 unfortunately. I had too many (3)projects going on at the same time. I recently got back on it (as in a few months).My first and major goal is to get it back on the streets. I'm not building a "Show Stopper" I just want a good, running, practical, (and hopefully) "bad ass" truck.

Since I've been on this site, I've come across quite a few "bad ass trucks" in my eyes anyway , all with their own style. I haven't been on here long, but I've already been influenced by some their looks. I know this is a never ending game, because this aint my first rodeo. But as I build my truck I hope to , one day, be mentioned along with some of these cats:
The likes of
ChopperJohn, Doogie, Malibob, Bird7263, JChavez62, Frmula505, ChevyTruckNut, Hornet53, GGInferno, Harwaa, Markeb01 just to name a few...and please don't get ofennded if I didn't use your name...

AND I AINT RIDIN, JUST THAT GAME RECOGNIZE GAME.

With that being said, this will be my build-up thread. Thank you guys for the information you have shared with already and thanks in advance for advise to come.

Here is "The Making Of A Red Nose" :


These pics was takin in 1999.





These were takin eralier this year.

Re: Rednose 65...1965 chevy short step-side

Alright...while I'm waiting on pics from my buddy...

You know Extreme Times call for Extreme Measures???
Well times are rough right now and I really want to do all kinds of things to my truck including the Big Fat Whites but because of financial reasons, I may go with the Skinny Whites (which I don't mind at all).

Any how, I was at my buddies yesterday and he also has a 65 Short Bed, but his is a Fleet. He was cleaning his truck out with a grinder using a wire wheel... I noticed he had a few tires laying around with the white lettering. Well I snatched the grinder and started buffing out the tires...needless to say, I went down the street pulled 2 of mine off took'em back and buffed them out as well.

I'll post pics as soon as possible for feed back.
