Re: '59 Apache "Low and Mean" long term project

It's been a little while since I updated you guys on my progress but I was able to get some work done yesterday on the ol gal. Got the outside of the frame welded out and started cutting and fitting my boxing plates. Also was able to get that stubborn tranny crossmember and spring shackles out. What a pain in the a$$!! Those rivets are some kind of stubborn. Enjoy the pics and feel free to comment on my welding. I am still a rookie at that lol. I was able to get the anti tive angle set to ~6.5*. Squared it all up and got her in. I move the wheel base forward by 1" so it can better center the wheel in the opening. I haven't put the wheel back on to see it compared to the fender yet. Will see if I can do that this weekend. I know how you guys are about pics so here ya go.
