Bagged 59 Apache build: Geronimo
 

Wanted to start a build thread on here because I always read others and feel this is a great place for encouragement. Calling it Geronimo because I'm half Indian and the most famous and feared apache warrior is Geronimo. I am doing porterbuilt front and rear and hoping to find an LS motor. Outside I'm gonna fix the bad rust and let the 50 years of life show.

Pulled the truck out of someone's back yard

Had a buddy of mine fix the cab corners and the floor, it was pretty ruff. He was able to paint them to look older to match the rest of the truck
Attachment 1168254
Got my porterbuilt notch almost complete. Now all thats left is to finish welding and mocking up the rear end.

Lowering / bagging a truck isn't my thing exactly but I gotta admit this is looking pretty darn good. Keep it up, I'm looking forward to the rest of it!
