How's the fit of the Visor?

Re: My 1959 apache project
 

Fits well! I had to add some shaved down 3/16 rod at the corners to fill in gaps before i started the bodywork so fits much better then before

Hey, I am selling a chrome 59 Impala gauge set on Ebay if you need one.

Re: My 1959 apache project

Re: My 1959 apache project

Looking great! You're going to be bringing home LOTS of trophies with her!


Hey, how are you gonna get away with that customized '56 plate when personalized plates didn't exist in California until 1976? Has a rule changed and I'm behind the curve?

Not to hijack, but does anyone know the correct California plate color/size for a '55.2? My earliest childhood memories are of plates like tpi's on my Dad's purchased new '55 Chevy two door hardtop but my '46 Chevy pickup had a much bigger, rounded corner plate and I'm wondering if that was still the correct plate for '55.2 trucks?

Re: My 1959 apache project
 

Thanks!

Re: My 1959 apache project
 

Gauges look great and love the steering wheel!

Re: My 1959 apache project
 

Yeah, forgot to mention I'm loving that wheel too. They're pricey but you've got me thinking of a red and cream colored two tone version for my truck. Guess I'd better start collecting more aluminum cans!!

Re: My 1959 apache project
 

Thanks! I really like the wheel gives it a updated classic look! well the drivers door has been a real female dog but I think its dialed in enough to paint im going to try to spray it tomorrow before my Lake Tahoe trip but not 100% sure yet.
