Re: My 1959 apache project

THANKS TO ALL!! I like being able to tell it has an updated radiator i think it adds more detail to it from a front glance.

I took my seat apart today and pressure washed it gonna scuff it paint it black and take it in tomorrow for it to get wrapped! Super excited to getting this pick up finished!

Re: My 1959 apache project

Looks great. What's up with the hood and front bumper, or did I miss it in the text somewhere? Are you keeping the factory hood ornament or shaving it?

Love everything you're doing to her. She's a beaut!

You make me laugh...you've gotten more done faster with a full time gig, 2 kids and a wife than I could EVER do. You've set such a high standard we're giving you schit for not being even faster:lol: Sorry, you're doing great. (I'm just jealous)

Seriously, you should be very proud. She's beautiful and you've got great skills.

Hey, questions if you don't mind:

Will you rewire her yourself? Whose kit if you're using a kit?
Will you bend your own brake & fuel lines? I've no experience but bought Eastwood tools to do mine. Can you please take detailed in-process pix?
Last, will you chrome the hood diagonal braces? I want to but wonder if it will crack the paint when pressuring the sheet metal on re-installation. Will you texture underside of hood?

Thanks!! Shes not perfect but shes mine so im very happy with her defects and all! As for wiring its american auto wire, brake lines and fuel lines are already in place i ben those with a cheap tube bender the brace under the hood will just be semi gloss black like the inner fenders actually under the hood will also be black.
