    Hello everyone, I'm Justin, I'm 20 years old and my project is my '59 3600 Fleetside, Largely original and I intend to keep it that way. The story behind it is really interesting to say the least. It was my Dad's for a while, he bought it around 1997 and had to sell it in 2002, and then I bought it from the guy he sold it to, for $500. It was like a miracle to get it back in the family, and every other day I'm either painting something, tightening down panels or bolting on new parts. It has 83,000 original miles on it and the 235 is plenty tired, I'm planning on re-building it this summer and adding a second carb on a Fenton intake, as well as an oil filter. Currently I'm working bugs out of the electrical system, all harnesses are brand new from American Autowire, and though progress is slow I'm making progress at least! Anyways, expect me to be asking a lot of questions, from what I can tell this is a great community and I'd love to get to know it better! I'll also try and attach a picture or two of my Apache, she needs a bit of minor body repair and of course the engine rebuild, but other than that it's solid and complete. Looking forward to communicating with all of you! -Justin
