1965 frame off progress
 

I think I started this in February this year. Here is the progress to date. The truck with the black bed is the donor frame and bed, as I found my lwb frame to be bent. The engine is a 350 with double camel hump heads from my 70 chevelle.

Here are a few more. The donor chassis is just about ready for sandblasting and powdercoating.

It looks like you are making some nice progress on your build. Good luck and keep the pictures coming. Here are a few photos of the dash clusters I have in a few of my '64-'66 Chevy trucks. The gauges are a little nicer than the factory warning light clusters and the dash mounted factory tach is a real nice addition.

So are you going to get it sandblasted?

Re: 1965 frame off progress
 

Yes, I blasted and powder coated my chevelle frame and it turned out real nice.

Re: 1965 frame off progress
 

The first two pictures are of my swb base, which is about to be blasted. The next three are of my 70 chevelle with a black gloss powdercoat.

Keep the good work/pictures coming!

Re: 1965 frame off progress
 

The powder coating rocks!!! I have been thinking about it for my Impala SS ragtop, and now seeing it on that chevelle frame, will probably do it. Keep on truckin!!!!! Jerry

Jerry-
The thing about it is that its pretty cheap too. A guy here in SC did it for like $200 if I remember correctly.

Re: 1965 frame off progress
 

Frame is set for sandblasting and powdercoating tomorrow. I'll post pics when I get it back.

Re: 1965 frame off progress
 

I picked up the frame yesterday. Powdercoated satin black. Here are some pics.

nice dude!!!!

Re: 1965 frame off progress
 

how low do you think your going to go with it? or are you going to keep it stock ride hight

Re: 1965 frame off progress
 

My plans right now are a 3-4" inch drop in the rear and only 2 1/2 inch drop spindles in the front. I may also use 1" drop springs in the front depending on my mood when I order.

Re: 1965 frame off progress

Re: 1965 frame off progress (updated 11/4)
 

Here are the latest pics. The rear-end is being fitted with a new 3.08 eaton posi and 5 lug axles. It will have 4 wheel disc brakes.

Re: 1965 frame off progress
 

is that the th350 tranny mount from gspp.com?

Re: 1965 frame off progress
 

Its the th350 mount from Classicperform.com (cpp). It fit real well. I did have to drill the back holes though. The front holes lined up perfect.
