Just a short intro- my 13 year old daughter fell in love with a decrepit 59 Apache she saw one day and decided she had to have one to drive (when she is old enough). After much searching, I found one and paid way too much (you can't put a price on love), so now we have a project for the next couple of years. I look forward to learning every thing I can from the wonderful people on this site during our frame-up restoration (with limited modifications). Thanks in advance for your patience!

Welcome to the Bolt, ChuckC!
Your daughter has good taste! wink
I'm still working on my '59. Tell her to check out my Facebook Page for a quick summary of where I am in my project and keep us updated as you two progress through yours!
You'll get a wealth of info and help here... great bunch of guys (and gals).
You can also find parts! I even have a few.
Pics! We like pics!
Later,
Jerry

Welcome Chuck, sounds like you and your daughter can work on the old truck together. There's lots to learn around here, for sure. Be sure to ask if you run stuck along the way. Good luck!

Welcome to the Stovebolt Page, Chuck. Couldn't have said it any better than Jerry or Leo. Loads of knowledge and knowledgeable folks.
My daughter helped on "ole blue" starting just before her 13th birthday. It will belong to her one day..... heck, to hear her tell it, its already her's smile

Good luck, visit often and don't be afraid to ask questions.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile

Great FB page! I may do the same for our '59. Nothing like seeing progress on a similar project for motivation.
