Here's some pictures of my new build, this is to replace my 55' Chevy which I sold.I haven't decided if I'm going to go with a flare side or regular box.

I love it, sub'd.
I have a 1:1 59' stepside. I am not a fan of the cameo bed. I vote for the stepside. "thumbsup"

Thanks! So how does it match up to the 1:1? I'm just going on some pictures from google images, unfortunately I'm going with the cameo bed, it kinda looks different and I've already done a flareside with my 55' Chevy.

Re: 59' Chevy Apache

Yours is already in better shape than my 1:1. Mine has a long way to go.

That is truly amazing work. I can't wait to see it finished.

Re: 59' Chevy Apache

I also had a 58 Apache when I was in High School in the late 60s:shock:. It looks to me to be spot on in all of your detail work, the roundness of the cab sides by the rear window and the spears on the bed look great. If you could fab. a wooden bed it would be perfect, Oh forget that it is perfect."thumbsup"

That would be hot! OMG Chevy Apache Cameo is one of my favorite hotrods ever, simply amazing styrene work too! "thumbsup""thumbsup""thumbsup"

1959 is sweet, I really like the 1956 and 1958 too...those tail lights. :)

Re: 59' Chevy Apache

I was a little doubtful at first but you captured the lines on the truck very well.

I always adhere to as little filler as reasonably achievable. Body is rock solid.
Excellent work.

Beautiful work Sean. You are a master at incorporating complex curves into the bodies you create. I don't think people realize how hard that is until you try it yourself.

Thanks for sharing your talents with us!

Excellent work.

I was also at the very beginning but had to try it so I persisted and this is what came out.
