Question Shocking !

I little help please. After running my '69 for even a short time, when touching any metal part or the door glass I get shocked. Also the key gets a small shock when it gets near the ignition. I have no charging system problems and all the electrical accessories are working except the temp gauge (no sending unit) and the amp gauge.
Any idea how to stop this?

Mine does the same thing. It's the dirt in the bench seat cloth. I have get out of my truck touch the truck with the keys so I can shut the door. If I just reach for the door I get one nasty spark!!!
