Re: Ackattack's Pro touring restoration thread
Still no baby (5 days overdue now) Since my plan book is pretty much cleared out, and no baby to fill the time, I have got some things done.
I got the floor finished up painting, removed the engine, got the cab and the rest of the body on. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Tonight I went and picked up my toneau cover. I'm amazed at how quickly it got here. I ordered it last Tuesday, and here it is 8 days later and it's sitting on my truck. It was custom made to fit my truck, and it fits like a glove. I don't have the hardware installed yet, but so far I'm very pleased with it. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: Ackattack's Pro touring restoration thread
where did you get bed cover from exactly, and how do you get a hold of them?

Re: Ackattack's Pro touring restoration thread
Well, no progress on the truck this weekend. However I did end up with a little helper!
Baby Ethan was born on Sunday at 12:15am and weighed 8lbs 2.5 oz. It will be awhile before he can help on the truck, but hopefully he'll get a ride in it later this summer (that's why I'm putting the new style jump seat in there) |

Re: Ackattack's Pro touring restoration thread
Congrats on becoming a father! I have two 2-legged projects of my own. It may be hard to imagine now, but you'll soon find that you want to spend more time with him than your truck. They grow up fast, so cherish every minute. You'll love it! Glad to see the update. I found it on Pro-Touring.com.

Re: Ackattack's Pro touring restoration thread
Congratulations on the new arrival. My son is just over 21 months old now and he loves going in the shop and seeing all HIS trucks. I had Project LowBuck under way when he was born and now we are selling that one and building a pro-touring Tahoe

Re: Ackattack's Pro touring restoration thread
Thanks for all of the kind words guys!
Well between feedings I managed to get a little work done on the truck today. I got the cab bolted down and I got the holes drilled for the mirrors and mounted them up to make sure they fit correctly....looked good to me. ![]() ![]() |

Re: Ackattack's Pro touring restoration thread
I loaded up the truck and we took the truck to the paint/body guy's. It's supposed to take about 2 months to finish. It will get painted "Blue Granite Metallic" off of a newer chevy pickup.
The paint guy is outside of Portland OR, so it's about 3ish hours from me. I'm going to make a trip back down here next month to do a little work on the truck. Help with some fitup of the tonneau cover and side glass. I'm going to have to get another passenger door and a hood. The hood had a dent in the middle of it that the body guy didn't like and thought a better door would end up with a better quality finish. He's going to get some shots for me every week or two, so hopefully I'll be able to continue with updates. While the truck is gone, I'm going to do some much needed garage clean up, put together my instrument panel (new bezel with autometer gauges), as well as do some yard work now that it's starting to warm up. |
