Hello to all, Im Jason from Phx AZ, 24y, 1.5y son Carter, 8mo Doberman Jack, "the hell raisers!" Not alot of Hot Rod expirience but I also didn't know most of the kick-*** cars I see around were built on affordable budgets. So dropping my son off at his mothers I notice a '59 Apache. She runs good, drives good, ugly as hell, so we bought her. Thanks to Deyomatic for helping me out, rebuilding the carb, "custom" exhaust (haha), shaving some emblems, and lots to follow. I worked in a high-end/ volume paint shop through high school and college, so I'm abit rusty but anybody in the Phx area need any help with some paint work I can lend some good help or just a steady hand. Her she is... [image]]http://photo.starblvd.net/MunsonMotorsports/6-3-1.jpg[/image] The HAMB is truly amazing. From the information being shared to the logistics of this board... J
Couldn't find you pic but that's OK. Welcome anyway. If Deyomaytic likes you you must be alright. You're absolutly right, the '59 is about as ugly as it gits. You'll fit right in. And you found a good place to learn. The PknBner
Welcome. I too am new to the HAMB and there is lots to learn. It's a great group of people here. Sweet Apache and happy HAMB'n.
Thanks for the welcome and TRUST me I know she's ugly. In this case maybe you can polish a turd. After tech week I'm hoping a few good ideas comeout of a "photo shop/chop request". I have some ideas for lowering, paint, some maintenance, and I'll be off to the junk yard tomorrow to find the infamous 6x5.5lug steelies.
So that there is the infamous pickup, she looks pretty damn nice. As I always say I wish I was in Cali because I got the parts(in this case the wheels)you need. You shouldn't have to much trouble finding them. So are you gonna have it at Pavillions on Saturday, I'll probably meet you and Deyo there. -Jesse
If we're not working on one of them, we'll drive up to the pavillions in one. Looking to do the valves on the 235, weld somemore emblem holes, plugs, tune-up stuff... Junk yard this afternoon (tues) if you're interested? If so give Deyo a call. j
