It's finally done!
 

After 19 months in the garage we finally finished our '65 swb.
We did a complete off chassis restoration, dropped a 468 BB and 700R4 tranny in, eaton posi unit with moser axles, 4 wheel disk brakes, power steering, 4/6 drop and underbed 23 gal. tank.
We went with the old skool look.

Re: It's finally done!
 

We didn't get a chance to make a pass this weekend. It started raining about 10 minutes before the race was scheduled to start. I'll let ya'll know how it does.

Tires and wheels:
15x6.5 GM steel wheels front with 215 65 BFG Radial T/A front
15x8 GM steel wheels with 275 60 BFG Radial T/A rear.

Paint is 3 coats of Dupont jet black with 3 coats of matte clear.
The clear is not as flat as we wanted it but looks good. If I did it again I would go with a clear with flattener in it.

I'll post more pics later.
