Thank you for keeping a picture log. I just bought a 61 Apache project and look forward to doing the same thing. I too am a first timer, wish me luck.

  • k1lithium Thu Dec 21 2006, 07:17am PT WOW. that is truly amazing. My Husband has a 61 Chevy Apache that he got from his Dad. We will eventually be on the same road of restoring it. What an adventure. Also, a job well done on your digital scrapbook. It is not just about the photos, but the story behind the photos. From one scrapbooker to another. . . Job well done

  • jellis101 Thu Dec 14 2006, 05:58am PT OUTSTANDING, The sense of pride and accomplishment gained by this project must be amazing. I appreciate you allowing me to share in your process and dedication. This truck is no longer a vehicle. It is a personal work of art that I believe you can enjoy and feel each and everytime you are near this fabulous truck. Thank You, John Ellis

  • CircleAcustoms Wed, 27 Dec 2006 08:42:49 Hey thanks for the comment on Lisa's five window man. You have a truly perfect example of a clean job executed with pride and paitience. Your 61 is one of the cleanest I have seen. Thank you for sharing. I expect to have more photos in the next year. As of now I am a Boilmaker and work on the road most of the year,, I am also a father of 4 so when I am home time is a precious comodity. In the next year I plan on going full time with the shop and spending less time on the road so the pics will be more present. Again thank you for you compliments and great work on your 61
