During this crisis, I've taken this downtime to start rebuilding my 65 project. I have attached some photos. The fuel tank is getting boiled out next week and I need a radiator. Going to go through all of the electrical and hope to be firing it up in the next couple of weeks.

Motor is in great shape. My plan is to get the fuel tank and radiator done. Most of the car is original and all of the issues appear to be caused from simply sitting for all those years. I am trying to stay true to stock so I'm spending a lot of time cleaning old stuff instead of replacing. It's not like I don't have time right now. LOL

65's are different Ron?? Couldn't find the one off my 64. Hard telling what it is. Not really sure what is what on my car. Good for you having an original car and using it at the track and all.:appl

Part of the reason not much has been done to it since I have had it is that I had two other projects going simultaneously that I was determined to finish before I started a third. Both of the other cars were completed in the past two weeks and this was started right after. More often than not there is more to the story than meets the eye.
