Re: T-Man's 58 Apache project
I have been busy working on my motor. Here is a few pictures. Dad started to sandblast the Frame so we can get it painted and put together. Finally starting to look like something.

Re: T-Man's 58 Apache project
I for one really appreciate the pics on the front windshield metal work. I believe I posted before, we have a 59 Apache and she is rotted out all around the top of the windshield. I assume you fab all the pieces yourself. Correct? I suppose these cannot be bought. Everything looking great

Re: T-Man's 58 Apache project
You are correct, it will take me roughtly 30 hrs to do the entire windsheild frame start to finish. I wish that you could buy it, but i believe that you can not. i am using a shrinker / stretcher to bend the metal to how i want. each section i am doing has three pieces. when i have fully completed the windshied frame i will do a write up on it for he FAQ for anyone that is interested, it will give everyone a better idea on how to do it themselves. Later guys.

Re: T-Man's 58 Apache project
I agree, my frame was bare metal for three years because I could not get to it and in the two days it went from metal to primer to black was a BIG mental boost. Shiny is good! Nice shop to work in to, I sometimes think I spend more time moving stuff around to get room to work than actual progress.

Anyways i thought i would give you guys an update, it is almost like we fell off the end of the world or something. soon, ]do not worry, soon therer will be pics.

Re: T-Man's 58 Apache project
Tyler, you should tell you dad to bring in a door or fender for you to work on at my house during the nights, we will slowly get your truck done now that you are in the city, and Don, do not worry, i have a project for you too.

Re: T-Man's 58 Apache project
I am wondering what the chances are of getting a couple measurements off the front clip. The distance from the front cab mount to the Camaro clip is basically what I am after. I have a 73 Nova clip welded into our 58 GMC but it's fish plated to the frame 5" below
