Friar Truck the "No Budget" S10

[CraigSnedeker]

It's coming, I just thought a few of 'yo would be glad to know I ditched the pink ones I got so much **** form.

[scweet14]

read this whole thing....i dont know what to think. but that pink is getting ridiculous.

I found some new window cranks on eBay... and I'm $3 short. Being poor sucks! The pink ones are starting to bother me now.

I know that I said I was gonna stop with the small updates, but I figured some of you would appreciate this one...

It might just be the photo, but did you dent the new cranks when you installed them?

[CraigSnedeker]

One of them came that way. The top photo is actually from the eBay listing (yay for dishonesty). I don't care though, even with the dent it's a HUGE improvement.

People care way to much about other peoples cars haha. Do whatever you want with it because its your truck. If you like the pink, do the pink. People on forums can be real dicks and when you have the right to do whatever you want, they have the right to say whatever they want. But don't be persuaded to change your tastes based on what some idiot said over a forum posting. Like you said, build if for you, not for them.

Thanks man, that's exactly what I'm doing. I do listen to everyone's opinion though, even if I dislike it, because they might have a good point.

That little thing under the hood painted pink, totally made the car!

[SHT]

that pink totally turns your truck from meeh to awesome

I got a job interview coming up soon, it looks promising.

I worked on more bodywork today, I spent about seven hours on it. I know the bodywork isn't perfect but this is my first time doing bodywork, I feel I did a good job... and I'm not done yet.













You can't really see the dent on this one:



More dents on this side too:


This area had a dent:


Next time I should close the windows when I sand...



Once I get the bodywork finished, which hopefully will be tomorrow, I'm gonna start using all this spray paint I've stocked up. Once I get a job, my cousin and I are installing a lowering kit and I'm saving up for rims.

Dope breh ready to see this pos on the ground already!!! Great progress man Good luck on the job interview.

[CraigSnedeker]

So am I man, so am I. lol. The interview was supossed to be Thursday but they're trying to get me interviewed for a full time position instead of a part time position, so the previous interview was cancled.

[pejsa]

So I'm guessing you didn't bother to remove the dents. But instead just filled with inches of bondo?

[siopaolover]

Hey man, I was in the same situation as you when I first joined here a few years back. My car looked like shit because of my "mods" like blacked tails, shitty wheels, and being higher than... a truck. lol. I cleaned it up over the years and now it's looking way more tastefully done. And I understand where you're coming from when you say you have no money. I'm a college student working a part-time job, but I earned over half of my coilover money this month so I can get off of cut springs and get lower. Getting that job will really help get your build started.

That is correct sir.

Thanks! I sure hope it will, I can't wait.

good luck redoing all that work when you hit a bump and all your bondo cracks and falls right off the side of the fucking truck. pull the dents out man. the end product is only ever as good as your prep. budget shouldn't mean shit. just at a slower pace.
