I posted a question in the regular forum on this. Apparently it's cause it's a 3/4 ton master cylinder. I guess on the 3/4 ton the line locations are swapped around. So I'll be getting a new MC. |

Re: Ackattack's Pro touring restoration thread
So after 2 1/2 months I finally got some pictures of the progress the paint guy has made. Not very much in my opinion. It sounds like he's hitting it hard now, so hopefully the progress will pick up.

Re: Ackattack's Pro touring restoration thread
Are you going to paint it that dark/gunmetal gray you showed in a post way earlier? It's going to look sick!

Re: Ackattack's Pro touring restoration thread
NICE!!! I'm thinking of painting mine that same color and that looks sharp! Glad to see some paint was finally laid down. When are the cab and front clip being done?

Re: Ackattack's Pro touring restoration thread
This is a sweet build, I have read it pretty extensively. I love the idea of the fuel injection engine in a classic like yours. You probably already said earlier,I probably just missed it. How are you integrating the new wiring with the old? I have heard the aftermarket harness is really expensive. Are you using the whole OEM engine harness as well as the truck/car harness and fuse boxes?
The paint looks good! Haven't seen that color much. I'm not a pro paint and body guy but I forced myself to learn after my first truck I did was held in "paint prison" for too long.With the skills you got....you can do paint. Oh well maybe on your next build. |

Re: Ackattack's Pro touring restoration thread
thanks for all of the kind words guys!
2 weekends ago I made a trip down to take a look at the progress. They were getting pretty close to being ready to shoot the cab. The doors were pretty much ready as well as the front fenders. I have been busy (hince why it's taken me two weeks to post this) so I haven't gotten back with my painter to see if they did get them shot. Here's a few pics from the trip: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Also, I got a "new" truck, a 69 GMC called Project No-buck ![]() http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...d.php?t=355535 |
