On the subject of the completion date that is a short build time, but I support you 100% . Quote Link to comment
77 rustrat Posted December 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 thank you slam. yeah i know its short but since i have a shop and the truck is pretty basic it should be no prob. (i hope) but as long as i get the parts i need it will go together pretty quick. i mean its just static droped and painted the interior will probably take the longest Quote Link to comment
slam_dat_sun Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 That's right static drop, oh hell you have the cat in a bag . :lol: Quote Link to comment
77 rustrat Posted December 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 lol yeah i cant wait till its done i can already see myself taking a few days off and makin a trip out that way to take it to its first show Quote Link to comment
77 rustrat Posted December 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 oh and by the way i think i have decided to get rid of everywire in the truck that i dont absolutly need and possibly take them all out and start over and build a new harness from scratch. and then do a full rebuild on the motor so that i wont have a single problem when i put it on the road Quote Link to comment
slam_dat_sun Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 That is not a bad idea Quote Link to comment
zerow Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Having been in the Army for 4, I saw this and got excited... Here's a couple more ideas: 1) 9mm shells for the pop ups at the door lock. 2) 155mm Howitzer shells for the armrests (might get a little hot in the summer, though) Go hit up the local firing range for the casings. Or go to Ft. Jackson - they've got live fire happening all the time. BTW: We used the 155 shells when we were in the desert and needed Survey Markers... Quote Link to comment
77 rustrat Posted December 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 thanx zerow for the advice i might try that and thank you for serving Quote Link to comment
77 rustrat Posted December 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 okiedokie i did some thinking and measureing and have decided to run the suspension and drive train from the 300zx turbo parts car i have on this build. now before all you guys that know everything about everything i did all of the measuring twice and found that the motor will fit with some mods and i will have to shorten the control arms and shorten the rear end. now with that being said i am going to start pulling the motor tomarrow. now when i get it pulled i will have 1. running motor that needs carb work 2. 4-speed tranny 3. drive shaft 4. front suspension 5. rear end and suspension 6. radiator 7. and all the other little things in the engine bay. now i am also in need of some parts and i am willing to do some tradeing for the stuff i need with the stuff that i got 1. grille 2. lower air valance 3. tailgate 4. good dashpad 5. drivers side window regulator 6. bumperettes now i dont need the stuff that i am taking of the truck so i will trade whatever for whatever. i just really need this stuff so let me know.

Madness Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 (edited) My buddy Todd's 240. After 450 air brushed rivets he lost count... He used a new flat clear that heals itself when scratched to keep it looking like raw steel. Edited December 19, 2009 by Madness Quote Link to comment
