Re: 1959 Apache Project

I like the stance but I think I might be too low in the front. The roads better be flat. I put some sheet metal on it just to see how it's going to sit. I have to build a box for the battery, throttle linkage and then start putting the body on it.

Nice project you have and in my opinion there is no such thing as too low the problem is with the roads.

Re: 1959 Apache Project

I've attached the front end, replaced rear pinion seal, bolted the bed on, secured the battery and getting ready to do exhaust and finish the body panels. I also have to trim the rear fenders to clear the tires. These aren't the final wheels just using them to drive it. I am going to get steel wheels with smooth hub caps. All the electrical is finished, fuel lines finished but still need to set the timing. I am really pleased with the stance, it turned out just like I wanted.
