Re: 1961 Chevy Apache My Beater
Now that’s fabrication, like it should be done.
Looking good. Suits the truck too, I like the front view through the cab.

Re: 1961 Chevy Apache My Beater
I can’t get over how BADASS the view is driving around. I told my buddy it’s like my girlfriend just got BIG fake tits!! Still need to do inner panel patches so back window is out. It’s in safari mode right now haha.

Re: 1961 Chevy Apache My Beater
Took the truck to my buddy Jonathon. He is a sheetmetal madman. He made the patch panels for the corners.

Re: 1961 Chevy Apache My Beater
For the final grind I used a 2” angle grinder with 80 grit and scotch brite rolock wheels. Then I taped it and clear coated it.
