Re: T-Man's 58 Apache project

Don and Tyler, you guys are doing great! I just have to mention that last week the boys were able to take the truck out. For a drive! The burned and turned .those tires off in the yard! It is officially running, so as of now I have to get my ass out to the farm and get some mud on this thing! Mud and primer here we come. I just have to say my hat is off to the both of you for a great job so far. Congrats

Re: T-Man's 58 Apache project

That dash is looking good, brought back not so good memories for me. For some reason mine had bad wrinkles on boths sides were the part above the guages transistions into the dash on the side. Took me a long time to get the compound and reversing curves to look right. Always seemed like I ended up with a flat spot.
