Re: 59 Apache build...
Since your are letting it rust and going for that patina look you need to trade your chrome grille for my old rusty painted one! If you want I can toss it out in the yard and let the snow work on it this winter.

Re: 59 Apache build...
what bothers me the most is the rear tires. im goin to run a wider tire and maybe it will make the rear look better. if not there coming off in favor of spider caps and trim rings again.
