You're holding out on us, man!
It's been a week and it's been HOT but I know you've been doing something. Ensuring minds (nosy guys) want to know! Lol

Re: My 1959 apache project

Re: My 1959 apache project

Being able to use the original trim clips makes it so much EASIER AND NICER to install!

My dad helped me get the door adjusted this evening thats as good as we could get it for today,

Re: My 1959 apache project

In the side shot it looks as perfect as can be without the fender being on. In the side view the door looks a LITTLE too far in but it could be the great shine you have on the paint makes it looks bigger than it is. In person I bet it's like 1/8" or less.

You're doing great work, man. I'm really impressed. I'd love to see your truck in person someday. Maybe if you come down to the Brothers show next year or if you come to a more southern show when I am going up to visit family in Auburn I could time it to attend the show and see it.

Congrats, great truck!

Re: My 1959 apache project

In this picture it looks PERFECT. I'd be proud as hell if mine looked anything like yours

PS: I don't know how old you and your dad are but it is AWESOME he's around and able to help you with it. I'd give anything if my dad were still around like that.
