Ehhhh just another truck

[milano_red]

Oh my! I'm going to sleep better now that I have seen that...

[metalmonkey47]

You can have my truck, I just want your wheels. Even trade?

I don't think it would be fair. I only paid $100 for my wheels

No problem, I mean it! I'm pretty much on my local classifieds everyday looking for one. Just great little trucks!

Keep looking! I see them in BC for sale all the time on the Ratsun.net classifieds!

Oh my! I'm going to sleep better now that I have seen that...

Me too! I've slept even better after putting on my fender mirrors yesterday

Since I washed it, it looks pretty good.

Alignment is terrible. Needs less toe. Camber is pretty nice though.

Test fit the camper shell... Note the rear tire sitting on the rear fender.

Pulled the wiper cowl, stripped it, primed it, and painted it. no more FUNK.



Pulled all of the EVAP garbage lines out, replaced old random hardware with the new shiney stuff.



And stripped / polished the wiper arms.

Love the mirrors, and I might be interested in that 620 soon. Miata is totaled so ill know when I get the insurance check.

[aaron22]

[MrDanguy]

Wheels are lookin' great! Makes me wish mine would fit my car...

Fender work, here I come!

Saw this at Barrett last Friday (Recognized the orange fender). Didn't know your where in Cobb. Looks awesome.

[metalmonkey47]

Thanks guys! Didn't realize so many comments popped up while I was away prepparing for more updates

Thanks man! Yeah, i'm right around the corner. The orange fender I think is gonna stay when i paint the truck back yellow. I don't know what it is about it, but it looks soo good.




Anyways....





Won't be updating this for a little while. $$ is getting tighter by the week and bills are falling behind so I won't be doing anything that's gonna cost me money. Well... maybe a little lol



My current project is this:




A small start to my shave / wire tuck.

[Isuzupickup]

It should be easy to wire tuck. These motors don't really have but maybe 5 wires to the engine. Electric choke wire and a few sensors. Stoked to see the outcome.

Are you around barrett on Saturdays? Might have to ride out one night

Sometimes. Not much for Saturdays, I usually do Fridays. If you wannameet up out there, shoot me a PM sometime and I'll see if I can make it!




I have the rest of my black primer now. Gonna lay it all on, and paint the truck soon. probably gonna rock it flat/primer black for a while until I get ready to paint it. May even toss a rising sun on the hood :thumbup:

Dunno, just need to finish with the body first.


Floor pans are coming up, as well as battery tray. One of my AZ commercial accounts is a resto shop. Guys cool as hell and offered to do it for me :thumbup:

In the mean time, I decided the heater core was too difficult of a task for me to solder it back together, so I took it to a local radiator shop where the soldered it for $65 even. Seamless and beautiful!
