Been putting that work in boys!
Started off by finishing up most of the body color paint.

So all I really have left to paint is accent pieces and touch up some spots here and there.

Front of the truck wasn't low enough for my liking so I did some diy front lip on my front lip. Still sits higher than subframe and exhaust so its technically considered fake low lol.
Also cut out the holes in the bumper because I apparently didn't know how to measure when I did them forever away. Then finished it off in metallic black.


So with the bed painted I could finally put my tail lights in! With that being said the truck is insured and plated again! WOOOO!!!!


So after much awaited I drove the truck up to my old store.

Have to work out some kinks but it drives fairly good, and that exhaust pops some flames. Ordered stiffer springs for the coilovers since it squats pretty decent makes things hit the ground. But more updates every weekend because I have a show I'm putting it in on Dec. 10th So it needs to get as done as possible!!!!

MEGA UPDATE!!!!!!!
Alright ive done a bit of work over the past weeks and haven't had time to really update this. So first off finally made a finish panel for the exhaust and a mirror delete out of brushed copper coated aluminum.. MMMMMMMmmmm

Pic of the front to show how low the crossmember hangs.


Made a window banner out of house paint because I can.


So had a last minute idea to do since the old idea of putting the side steps back on kind of made me sick. So after some time doing looking up wheelbases and pondering I ordered some S14 side skirts.

And with the bed cut for the overfenders they were somehow the perfect length.


Had to trim and cut but it worked out in the end!!

Then we made a cover for the rear to clean the bed up.


Ended up painting it black and it came out amazing.
Added the rear finish panel off the pathfinder to hint at the monster ive created.

Love how it turned out.
My brother had a sweet idea for door panels and boy did it turn out AMAZING!

URBAN AF!!!!!
Close up on the bodyline, gold pin stripes and the line is green flaked!!

So after long nights of assembling, finally got the truck to the car wash at like 10pm the night before Winterfest!!!

And the truck posted up at the show!!!

The truck ran amazing, and only have a couple little things to mess with. But I'm beyond stoked for everything ive accomplished!

And a pic of the truck after the show, a day of success!
Heres a couple bonus clips !!!!
