That's a sharp looking '65. My wife's cousin has a sweet '65 that has won some hardware. I like 'em, they look like an Impala's tough little brother.

Mike,
I am hoping to be there to with my '65 so maybe you can help me out with stuff I dunno about the '65 model year. I do know however that I love the car
and the '65 is just enough of a difference from a '67 to make it interesting!

I'll try to bring my brain, tho. Mine is kinda far away from stock... I forgot to mention that if you can go fast, you need to stop fast. ... power disc all 4 corners.
Mike - That would be great as mine is far from stock also and funny you should mention brakes... That is one of the problems I am having and I need to figure out! The guy that built the car and engine adapted a electric/pneumatic brake booster in the trunk and the noise drives me crazy as it sounds like a mini air compressor going off every time I step on the brakes. He opted not to use a vaccum to the master cylinder and booster off of the engine as he said the CAM used to much of it but.... I'm thinking if I increase the brake booster to an 8 inch and with the 2500 stall converter, I should be able to run it off the engine vaccum, right?

Thanks Mike but I think yours is the cats meow as well! I've had brake boost problems before on my auto big block cars and was always able to work it out with stall converter size using engine vaccum. My car has a very small brake booster on it right now and I am sure that is part if not all of the problem.

Hopefully we'll get a chance to check each others cars out this summer!
