Well !!!  If you slow down and and take your time we could both fire them up at the same time .    LOL

Alas I'm gaining ground on you John. It should be running tomorrow because I just got my radiator back from the shop and he made it all pretty again.  It was cheaper than a repop and it looks like it is supposed to now. Dan

Yes it is...I cleaned it up and it was a lot better shape than the one I had. The guy who recored it took one look at it and said, "old nailhead Buick". The one that was in the car when I bought it was not the original tanks and now it is back to correct. I bought some hoses from Russ and they were the correct molds with no issues. I found some heater hoses for a late 60's small block corvette that had the right bends for the firewall and water pump. Dan

Do you have part numbers or where did you get the two heater hoses? I am in need of some, thanks Bill.

Maybe this set?:
68-82 Corvette with A/C
http://www.ecklerscorvette.com/corvette-heater-hose-kit-with-air-conditioning-small-block-and-big-block-1968-1982.html

Or with GM logo:

I believe those are the ones I bought. It has been a couple months ago, but I used the tight bend at the firewall and the long bend was perfect at the water pump end. So,at the firewall there was one straight and one short bend.

IM really funcused here Dan....  :tard: HELP ME understand.   The subject title  "....seeing progress FINALLY....65 RESTO"...ok so far.  Dan, the pix below (your engine I assume?) is correct Green for a 65, right?  However, the valve cover appears to be a 66 with the angled PCV valve?  Am I right?  Or could that 'angle' also be for a 65??   
REASON behind my inquiry is:  I am converting for a customer, his 66 GS to a QJ intake, carb, air cleaner and SEARCHING for factory 66 ribbed style valve covers...  I thot I understood the 'ANGLED PCV" is 66 only??   Am I wrong? or am I just incorrect?   :tongue3:

Hey Dennis,
That is a good question..I did not build the engine in this car as it was an unfinished project started by the previous owner. To my knowledge,it is 100% oem as far as intake,carb,valve covers,etc...this is a straight PC'V . I know both my 65 cars had this cover on them. As far as color,I think there are closer matches out there. This is Detroit diesel duplicolor,but in reality,it is supposed to be a tad more blue-green. I think Bill Hirsch color is a little better from what I have seen. Dan
