Thankfull there isn't to much to do.Hope to start on the old Chev sometime soon but i better get this one out of the way first! Im also trying to find a 3.9 cummins to replace the old 360 in my 75 ford too so im not sure what project to finish first!!!

Re: T-Man's 58 Apache project
 

Well so much for well laid plans! The un-seasonally warm weather has postponed my plans up north. The client has delayed his plans until the ground either freezes up again or it thaws and dries.

Oh by the way I am over 50 also and only shoot when I see uninvited people driving around in my fields...lol...

I will be in touch.

All the comments are great, but may have to tone it dowwn a little as Nuke 1 head is swelling and may not be able to get his head through shop door.hahaha

Re: T-Man's 58 Apache project
 

So James and Mel with the little one came out this weekend. Me, Tyler and James went out to the shopand started working on the cab some more. I got the light switch put in the dask, I think it looks ok, and James figured out how to replace the eyebrow. Tyler and James cut the old one all out and got that are acleaned up. ONce that was done, it was back outside to finish off blasting a bit and then we could get some more done.

Re: T-Man's 58 Apache project
 

We got the inside all fitted in and in place, then tacked in, went real well, thanks to James' elarged ego, LOL. just kidding.

Re: T-Man's 58 Apache project
 

After supper James and Tyler went back out and finished up the eyebrow, I had to stay in and play with my cute granddaughter, Harleigh. Can't pass up those opportunities!

Re: T-Man's 58 Apache project
 

:metal:

Re: T-Man's 58 Apache project
 

You're my Hero!

I've been waiting a long time to see how you were going to fix that eyebrow and I can't believe how easy you have made it look!

Now that you've shown us all how to do it, I bet I can do the same thing to mine.

Huge Thanks Man!

Re: T-Man's 58 Apache project
 

Nice work guys!

Re: T-Man's 58 Apache project
 

I had a good time on the weekend with James and Tyler home . It was also good having Melissa and Harleigh home to. It is rather quiet with everybody gone home. I got the job of finishing a couple of patches in the roof front corners, then spent a couple of hours grinding. Friday was not a good day ,tried to spray a few pieces with primer and had nothing but runs. Sunday afternoon went shopping at my kind of store ( princess auto) bought a new gun, was so nice here Tuesday moved things outside and tried new spraygun out it worked great no runs here are some pictures.

Re: T-Man's 58 Apache project

Re: T-Man's 58 Apache project
 

Looks good, what kind of gun, I am starting to save for a better one. Mine is ok for rough primer but thats it.

Re: T-Man's 58 Apache project
 

Wowzers Don, do you want to come help me out now, seems I am behind in my schedule. pretty please, you seem better than me. So is the cab gonna get put on now? By the way, I had a great time down there also.

Re: T-Man's 58 Apache project
 

Great job guy. Sure is nice to see the ground with no snow. The snow is melting away pretty quick here in Winnipeg.

Re: T-Man's 58 Apache project
