Back on board just to say Apache's looking Awesome!

Re: My 1959 apache project

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

Re: My 1959 apache project

Thanks, looks great!

Re: My 1959 apache project

Man, your truck looks more and more like a show winner!
Beautiful!!!

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?
