Looking good ... still have snow on the ground up Sask? Ouch.

Shorts & 80 here yesterday - plenty of outdoor fab time.

Keep us in the loop on the progress.

It has been awhile since last post, have been making some progress. Maybe not all on the truck . The winter up here has been really mild alot of farm work and working on the house keeping the wife happy!!! We have managed to get enough wiring hooked up to start the engine and have all of the steering colum wired up,worked on the brakes and fuel lines. Here are some pictures

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

here are some of my atempt of body work on the dash. Was told I could screw this up either but will see.

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.
