Re: Project "Tracy Lee" 59 Apache

Time flies when you work long days for a living and have a small child at home taking up the rest of your time...

So it's November and we have achieved some significant progress! After buying new front and rear fenders and last week buying 2 new doors (wifey is NOT happy), we are just a couple of weeks from final paint. My Brother-in-Law has put a ton of time and effort into this truck and he has also rec'd tons of help from his friend who is a pretty good bodyman. Here are some progress pics from Saturday. We did the jamb painting. The interior will be flat black as well as under the hood. The exterior: Prowler Orange. Does that color sound familiar? You can thank Cal58GMC for the inspiration on that! I was in love with that color as soon as he revealed it and I knew I had to do the same. This truck is FAR from the caliber his truck is but I just wanted to have a comfy little truck that can turn a couple of heads and that color will definitely do that! The interior floorboards will be Rhino-lined from just below the dash around to below the rear window including the inside steps. I still need to buy a new front bumper, headlight bezels, bed wood and strips and other goodies for the interior.

























Here's a little video of the days events:
Hope to have some more progress pics in a couple of weeks!
