'65 SS from Tucson and is rust free. I have had it since about 1988. If I can find a picture of the WHOLE car, I'll post it.

Sure looks great from the front!!!!!. Look forward to the whole car pic.
I need to take some too.
Have to get the son to show me how on one of those new camera's and download to the computer.

That's a sharp looking '65. My wife's cousin has a sweet '65 that has won some hardware. I like 'em, they look like an Impala's tough little brother.

That's awesome. I love it..no BS, just CAR!! I'll bet that thing boogeys, too doesn't it? :)

[classic]

Well, let me think about it for a moment.... OK I'll be there! (Thanks...:D)

Mike,
I am hoping to be there to with my '65 so maybe you can help me out with stuff I dunno about the '65 model year. I do know however that I love the car
and the '65 is just enough of a difference from a '67 to make it interesting! :)

[classic]

Cool! It will be fun to meet ya!

I'll try to bring my brain, tho. Mine is kinda far away from stock... I forgot to mention that if you can go fast, you need to stop fast. ... power disc all 4 corners.

Mike - That would be great as mine is far from stock also and funny you should mention brakes... That is one of the problems I am having and I need to figure out! The guy that built the car and engine adapted a electric/pneumatic brake booster in the trunk and the noise drives me crazy as it sounds like a mini air compressor going off every time I step on the brakes. He opted not to use a vaccum to the master cylinder and booster off of the engine as he said the CAM used to much of it but.... I'm thinking if I increase the brake booster to an 8 inch and with the 2500 stall converter, I should be able to run it off the engine vaccum, right?

[classic]

Thanks Mike but I think yours is the cats meow as well! :) I've had brake boost problems before on my auto big block cars and was always able to work it out with stall converter size using engine vaccum. My car has a very small brake booster on it right now and I am sure that is part if not all of the problem.

Hopefully we'll get a chance to check each others cars out this summer!

Don't forget to come to the big Labor day AACA show in Latrobe,Mike.

[classic]

UR right Mike, you do not have much clearance!!!! You definetly have a bigger brake booster than mine!

Greg

[grandsport]

I don't know when that will be.

Labor Day? That is a looooong time away! What does the AACA stand for.... anything to do with your puppies?

Antique Auto Club of America.

[grandsport]

Does it have to do with old CARS or old PEOPLE that still drive? :D

That's why you should come. :)

Sweet Chevelle stalkingbear!

Lot of work done on that one, I'm impressed!

Scott

[grandsport]

Thanks Scott! It actually was a bunch of fun doing it... I learned a whole lot of stuff and if I ever do it again, it won't cost quite as much. Once I powdercoated the frame, I had to keep the rest of it up to THAT standard.... I have yet to add up the cost of doing the project...

Do you really want to know?

[450rdawg]

That's funny! "tough little brother..." I like it! (Thanks for the compliment.)

I threw in some additional pictures - twin fans & cog belt driving the alternator & waterpump.

Very nice looking car. I used to have a 66 and I've been partial to 66-67 but the 64-65 body style is my absolute favorite.

[badrad]

I love '65 Chevelles.
