any pics of your '65? I was finally able to get my hands on this one. My uncle inherited it 6 years ago; his first car was a '65 Sprint so his goal was to put this car back to original color and interior. He purchased everything I need to put the interior back to original Medium Blue including original seat frames. He also ordered a driver floorboard when he found rot. The car was raced in the 80's-90's in the Virginia Beach area and it has some strange stuff going on. Strange to me anyway but probably not strange to anyone who has experience with racecar setups. It'll be interesting to see what I'm going to be able to keep and what I'll need to change to get it street legal. So what are you plans for your ride? Did I mention pics?

ya gotta love the body style, yours looks like it is good shape. Hope you kept all the trim, it's hard to locate.

It looks pretty solid to me. Mine has some issues with rot but nothing that can't be fixed

Youtube is your friend, lol. I'm looking forward to watching your progress. I hear ya about changing your mind. I've got a Nova build that I'm going through it with. I've never painted a car but I'm going to spray my '65 and the Nova. I'll be watching lots of youtube vids prior to taking that on.

good to see you moving right along with your build. I have to do the same thing to my roof but I think it's probably too cold around here to spray any primer. Glad to hear you found your trim, you aren't kidding about it being expensive. I'm going to have close to 3g in trim work by the time I purchase that trim, the strip across the trunk and getting my dash bezel rechromed. Who said this was a cheap hobby? Lol. When do you think you'll begin your floorboard work? I have the same issue with my driver toe board but I'm baffled by how it seems like the floorboard is not one continuous piece in that area.
