I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, "Where's the self-help section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Re: Project "Tracy Lee" 59 Apache

Thx for the feedback yall! Brother in Law sent me a couple more pics today:









I know, that's alot of the same color up-front. The grille is my old one and we just shot it to make due til I can afford a new chrome one. The headlight bezels and front bumper will be chrome as well. I should be driving her home in 2-3 weeks and getting ready for the other items on the to-do list!

Looking forward to the (re) finished truck.

Yup. A lot of trial and error, a couple of shortcuts here and there that didn't work out and a ton of cash over the years. This is a good overall thread for learning what to do and what not to do!

Re: Project "Tracy Lee" 59 Apache

i think the grille in either off white or chrome would look good you could keep the letters and maibe the 2 bars above the letters in the bodycolour or do it contra keep most of the grille brown and do the letters and 2 inside bars in chrome
