Looks great, congrats on getting it back on the road. By the way, question about the radiator...is that a 66 or later style? I see the top/return hose is on the drivers side.

Thanks! I like them because they have the torque-thrust look, but it looks like they come in a reasonable size (correct backspacing) that can fit our '65s. I'm pretty well set on some custom steelies with dog dishes (already bought the dishes), but I'll file that under "plan B."
