Re: My 1959 apache project
 

Real nice job, I just went back through your build and was reading about all the good stuff you run upon and was wondering if I could just come and follow you around? You find some cool stuff.

Re: My 1959 apache project
 

Chassis / engine looks great.
I really like the spokes.

Re: My 1959 apache project
 

Thanks! I cant wait to throw cab back on but gotta repair some damaged areas first.

Re: My 1959 apache project
 

Thank you!

Re: My 1959 apache project
 

Engine looks real nice.
I know what you mean by the boring stuff. I've spent days stripping my cab and still have more to go.
Kim

Re: My 1959 apache project
 

Yes its not fun stuff, I like assembling stuff making it look nice have 3 patches to do on cab and strip floor make it look nice. :waah:

Re: My 1959 apache project
 

Chassis looks awesome !

Re: My 1959 apache project
 

the progress is looking great bud. I'd love to stumble across one of those window tubes for cooling.
Are you going to have to raise the center section of your cross members in order for your drive shaft to fit?

Re: My 1959 apache project
 

Thanks!!

Thank you! I still have to notch the center cross member I had some days off and wanted to get chassis painted before the rain comes in but no rain.
Just not sure if I will need to tunnel floor on cab hope not
