65 Futura in East TN . . .

Pretty cool truck, I wish I had kept my '62 short bed with the 302 Police Interceptor but my buddy wanted the engine and the old truck would of needed a lot TLC I couldn't give it so I decided to let it go.

See Ya,
Mike

I've kept my eyes open for a solid unibody for several years now but just haven't been fortunate enough to find one close in good enough shape. One day . . . This one, with the 292/4sp and a little cam with glass packs just makes my day though.

What!? The trailer wheels were starting to grow on me too . I'll be making serious progress soon I hope. I revised my wheel plan after not finding a spider that I like and am sure won't fall off; I'll use either push through bullet centers or small ford hubcaps I'm thinking. We'll see. . . Thanks for looking -

Awesome Dan! It is cool seeing this come together and would love to see it in person someday, been following your build from before you made it here (and I am glad to see it here) Your car has been a real inspiration for me.

See Ya,
Mike

Thanks for the kind words guys. I'm pretty giddy to have gotten this far! My plan when I found this car was to do a project from the ground up - no bolt unturned and exactly how I wanted it. There's still a long way to go, for sure, but this little 65 has been my therapy for the last 6+ years and isn't going anywhere!

All that bring said, weatherstrip is on the way, so the next few steps will be weatherstrip, door, quarter and window glass, locker install, then routing brakes, fuel lines and the harness. Just gonna take my time and enjoy it. Maybe it'll be done before you guys go to PF next year . . . .
