Another 65

Cool Tom nice work keep it up. Big block wow wish I had one that will do wheelies!!!!!!!!!

Been wanting to post these pics of some progress over summer. After seeing (& reading) Digs build,I thought I wanted to try more upholstery(did my 68 dash pad) & I "think" the 65 was all done like the front door pic on the inside??? And I traded for the new stuff so it was almost free, not the real color I wanted but its Cheep.Thats the only way I can do stuff. Hey G-man see the sticker you gave me at Nats on door

yes I see it, looks good there

Those panels turned out nice!!!

Yeah they did turn out nice! Bet it cuts down on a lot of road noise to.

Nice door panels Tom, What did you use for the back up?Or did you just reh

upolster?





Nice job Tom,what did you use for the backup or did you just reupholster? Ken

They look really good, pics came out nice. They are even sharper in person.

Ken I just used 1/4 plywood(just like whoever built it did 30++ years ago) Used carpet pad for foam(all I had) might be problem at some point ??

Just thinkin about having some holes in bottom of door for ventilation. Looks very nice.

Not alot of progress lately, trying to get 68 running right to put in storage, but did get some "out of driveway" shots of 65 & got plywood for interior.
Ken,early Chevy vans got drain holes in bottom of there door. I guess for condensation

rain will enter the doors from glass areas-vent holes in bottom of all doors are for that -yet usually never kept open for that purpose-have a look -theyre small & elongated.

No real progress, just keeping the snow from caving the tent in on top of the van
Tent does keep most of the snow & rain off it. Much better than the life it had before

With as much snow as we have been having lately, that has to be a lot of work keeping the snow off. It definitely has a better life now!
Wish I wouldn't have been sleeping all day, it was finally warm enough to actually get something done in the shop!

Tom

Tom,Your working 12 hr  nights(this week) ,you got to sleep sometime

I work 3 12 1/2 days in a row(sat,sun,mon), by the time I get home , eat back to bed for work the next day. There is a good point , off tues-friday. I used to work second shift 6 days at the same shop.

I work a four on, four off rotating schedule, swing day shift to night shift weekly. Lately the overtime has been rough, working six night shifts in a row, 12 hour days. Doesn't leave much time for van progress. Lol

Where did you get those side mirrors? They look real nice.

Yeah kinda sucks but the money is nice at the end !!!!

Jar The arms are stock(cheepes mirror) with square mirror heads
Got a little more done on the int of the 65 between snow & rain storms. Next on to back doors. Cut panels in driveway then do upholstery on my kitchen floor.
