New Guy - '61 Apache
 

I've been lurking and getting information here for a while so I figured I'd introduce myself. I've got a bunch of muscle cars - do most work myself (except bodywork and paint).

I've been working on '61 Apache for a while when I have downtime between other projects - I bought it a couple of years ago. Originally a 6 cylinder but previous owner installed a 305. Floors were pretty bad so I welded in new floors - also rewired everything with a an American Autowire harness. - Just getting everything back together now. I hope to get this back on the road before my other project ('60 Corvette Restomod) returns from body shop. I don't think I'll do anything with body on this one- just get this on the road and enjoy it.

By chance I watched the movie Billy Jack this weekend - not a great flick, but the truck appears identical to mine.

Anyway, here it is.... Not quite concourse, but nice "Patina"...

Nice truck. I would leave it like that. A silicone type wax might spiff it up a bit.

Welcome.

You had my attention at '61

Be good to see some (any) photos of your other cars and projects, regardless of point in process.

Some of us do like photos on here.

Thanks all.... I've been using this site for info on the '61 for so long I figured I should say Hi.

Here's a picture of some of my others. 1968 Firebird and 1968 Shelby (GT500KR convertible) - 1959 Caddy in the back.

Somehow I ended up with red white and blue 1968 convertibles and didn't realize it until the firebird came back from the paint shop.
