Nicely done! Gotta say I'm partial to the 65s. What's the story behind it?

Thanks! I wrote the whole story when I posted this then I hit the back button and lost it all. Haha! Haven't felt like redoing it yet but, in a nutshell, the stories of my dad's highschool cars got me into this hobby. One of them was a yellow 65 Satellite so, I found one and have been working on it, off and on, for about 8 or 9 years. It's getting close!

I added the only pictures we have of Dad's. The pic on the right is the day he bought it from his cousin in 1976. Pic on the left is the day he got it running with a 383 and rebuilt 4 speed.

Sweet looking ride! Reminds me of the one I owned back in 1970 for a while.
