New guy from CT
Howdy All
I'm Ken from CT. This was my grandparents 60 Chevy Apache to restore and it's in pretty sad shape. It took me quite a while to talk my aunt out of this truck and while I was doing so it sat in a field for years (about 25)and was used as a scratching post by the cows. Here's a couple of pics of it. I've been gathering tools and parts over the last few years and finally think I have enough to get going on it. This is not long after I brought it back from VA. Took the bed off and stored it. Up on the rotisserie I built. The bottom of the cab isn't too bad. Most of the rust is in the usual places and the roof. I sandblasted the cab and am in the process of replacing the cowl. I bought one off of ebay and the seller cut it on the wrong side of the spot welds so it was short by a few inches. Luckily I had enough of the old cowl to use. Here's the rotisserie I built. Found the plans online and it works fairly well. |
