I'm having trouble . Don't how I got them upside down

Morrie,

Body was built 3rd week of May, 65. Originally Turquoise Mist. Black bucket seats. Post the VIN tag if you can, can't be too far off number-wise from mine. Looks fairly solid to me. The rear quarter wheel openings can be remade by using pieces from front fenders.

Thanks for posting pics!
When I click on the pics they open rightside up.

At least they are right side up when viewed enlarged. The KK paint code is for Turquoise - like my car. You might want to look for some quarter panels to fix those drag racer wheel wells.  Other than that its just your average project car.

Thanks for the pictures and welcome to 65GS - Home of The Nailhead Gran Sport.

Trunk floor is gone ,rust under front and back seat. Both quarters bad,rear filler rusted,rear tail panel rusted. Pin holes on roof above front to back braces . Trunk seal channel rusted. Trunk lid rusted. I haven't looked at the mechanical yet .I did see that the master cylinder not good. Radiator no good. But I did start the engine,and put it in gear it did move.

Morrie,

All pretty standard needs for a 65, especially a northern car. I pointed one member here to this not long ago, so don't know if it sold, but there is another one of the group here that had a complete rust free rear clip for a 4 door for sale. In California. That would take care of a number of needs for you.

Ah, those pin holes.  Mine is full of them too!

Cobra what did you do with them? I have found a 64 skylark I have to go look at it. He says its not bad but? He's selling .

[cwmcobra]

My body guy is welding them, then grinding and filling, where they are sort of individual.  Where there are several together, he's cutting out sections and welding in sheet metal, then grinding and filling.

Good luck!

I would be afraid of warping the roof. I did that on a 71 c10 pickup warped the roof. It took a lot to get it back. I think I have found a bell housing and linkage , Thanks Loren. ON the linkage note has anyone tried nickel instead of brass on the bell crank where the ball usually wears . OH ya got a set of buckets today .

[schlepcar]

I bought a one inch brass ball and center drilled it .625 (5/8) and used it on the shaft. I figured the brass would wear out before any of the hard to find pieces did. Looks like a pretty complete project..it must have been painted a long time ago with those 69 Camaro marker lights. A lot of hard to locate parts are still intact,and that is half the battle. Dan

I was going to ask about the marker lites. I didn't think they were right.
