Beautiful, beautiful build. My favorite to date. Every part compliments the other very, very well...and you have a 61 bubble - my favorite Chev 2dr HT.

TPI is a great choice in looks & function. Always liked the resemblance to the old fuelie units of the 50s & 60s.

You earned that big trophy & hopefully more...

Re: My 1959 apache project
 

You have done an awesome job on that trokita, I can't wait to do more mine. I did paint the inside of the cab and doors, had Ciadella make me the seat covers, visors, headliner, and door panels and it all came out beautiful. I used 59 I mpala steering wheel and it's coming along but that's all I've done so far.
Congrats on a beautiful resto and the trophies and the others to come.

Re: My 1959 apache project
 

still glad you went with hydros instead of bags? I'm debating on it right now for my impala. I wanna jump on freeway and drive long distance and not worry about my kidneys getting pounded LOL

Re: My 1959 apache project
 

Im still glad I went with hydraulics on the 48 coupe only reason im doing air suspension is because its for the old lady otherwise it would have hydraulics too lol. ive driven it to loomis ca, Stockton ca, Williams ca recently when we evacuated and to this date (knock on wood) not one problem has came up. Its no smooth ride by any means but it comes with the territory

Re: My 1959 apache project
 

I'm on the fence about it. I guess they both have there down falls. what was the reason you didn't want to use bags on your truck?

It looks like one of those fancy Italian coffee machines ��

The pictures of this truck on the road, at gas stations, and at cruise-ins and car shows if great inspiration for the rest of us to get them on the road where they belong.

Re: My 1959 apache project
 

Yup! People called it a cappucino machine lol

Re: My 1959 apache project
 

I'm not a lowrider guy but this truck is just flatly BEEOOOTIFUL! THe color choice, the use of chrome is just right. Flatly a beauty queen. And a FAST one at that. (Wouldn't we have ALL wanted to date a "fast" prom queen?! Lol)

Re: My 1959 apache project
 

Thanks!!

Re: My 1959 apache project
 

Do you EVER stop for gas and not have someone want to talk to you about the truck? I'd think it attracts a lot of attention.

Re: My 1959 apache project
 

Yeah man its super cool! Meet so many people and wether they just admire or share stories it always brings a smile to them and myself! Because of some of the mods that i went with it attracts all people it had classic, lowrider,hotrod all mixed into it so its a win win!
