fivetenguy Posted August 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Thanks guys for all your comments and compliments. The hood is all primered up and ready for the Poly primer before the base coat. Quote Link to comment
fivetenguy Posted August 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 The doors were stripped to make it easier to work on the door before paint. Then we taped the truck to keep the dust out. Quote Link to comment
DatDoug Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Truck is lookin good :cool: I love seeing bodywork done on 620's :thumbup: Reminds me of the 620 I sold my buddy. He had to weld up 55 holes :blink: Keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment
fivetenguy Posted August 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Some progress on the truck. I was planning on taking it to the JCCS in a couple of weeks but the truck still is not painted. Cutting it close. I might have to take my 510 instead. Here a few more pics. Top of the cab tail gate pics Doors with the filler primer Back of the cab has been painted and clear coated The front of the bed has been painted and clear coated. Brakes have been upgraded to disks up front. Will upgrade the rears as soon as the brakets are available. You can see the difference in size. Hope to get more pics here pretty soon. Thanks!

fivetenguy Posted August 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Wow man, well done!! That's gonna be friggin' CHERRY! TBH, I like those Infinity rims though. Know what model they're off of? These wheels are off of a 2006 Infinity QX56. . They are 18x8 I believe. They are like new. No scratches or curb rash. I will be selling these as I have another set of wheels I will be using. Quote Link to comment
fivetenguy Posted August 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 what color dude? Whats It called? I don't remember the exact name of the paint but it's made by PPG. It's very similar to the Cool Vanilla color you see on the Chrysler 300's. I will post the name once I get that information. Thanks to all for your comments and I hope you will continue to follow this thread! Quote Link to comment

fivetenguy Posted November 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Sorry I have been side tracked with other things. I actually took the truck home Tuesday afternoon. I have not taken pictures of the finished product. Here are a few pics: The bed is finished. Now I will have to straighten out the dents on the wheel wells. Quote Link to comment
fivetenguy Posted November 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 The frame will have to be cleaned and rattle canned with Rustoleum paint. Quote Link to comment
fivetenguy Posted November 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 The tail gate after the sealer was applied. More pics to come soon. Thanks Quote Link to comment
fivetenguy Posted December 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 It's been a while since I have posted any advancement on this project but it has been moving along. The first thing I did was remove the hood and fendors so they are not in the way. One thing that was bugging me about the truck was the silver paint on the dash and headliner. I went ahead and painted over them. I don't have any good pictures of this. I will post some later. The seats were removed as I will use a bench seat instead. The carpet is brand new so I just need to vacuum it before the seat goes in. Quote Link to comment
fivetenguy Posted December 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Pulled the engine out and cleaned the engine bay a little so I can paint it. First I added a little bit of primer then the black. It looks ok. I should have sanded it a little more. Here are some before and after pics. Quote Link to comment
dat77sun Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 thats a nice truck dude, love teh new rims, need some pics of the interior man Quote Link to comment
fivetenguy Posted December 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Engine and 280zx 5 speed tranny in the truck. The motor mounts were shot so I got a fresh set. Quote Link to comment
fivetenguy Posted December 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Glass is back in. The front windshield gasket was only a year old so it was reused. The rear glass got a new gasket from Precision. Quote Link to comment
fivetenguy Posted December 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Put new door glass channel felt from some Ebayer from Singapore...not happy with the product. It's too thin. The windows have a bit of play when they are rolled up. Also, put the glass in the doors. I sent the door handles to get chromed. They were not bad but a little bit of chrome would not hurt. Obviously the door panels will go in after I install the door handles. Quote Link to comment
fivetenguy Posted December 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 This is the end product after painting the dash. It came out OK. Also painted the seat belts. As you could see they were blue. I'll have to go back and paint the plastic piece. Quote Link to comment
fivetenguy Posted December 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Cleaned up the radiator a little then added flat black high temp Zynolyte spray paint. Quote Link to comment
fivetenguy Posted December 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Since I do not have the fan shroud I will not run the fan off of the water pump. Instead, I am planning on running 2 small 8" Spal fans that I had laying around. They are pullers. Anyone know if I will damage the fan if I switch polarity to make them pushers??

Gary Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Nah it'll be right, ive done same a couple times. Might have trouble with fitment though :( mine fouled the water pump but they fit on backwards ok to get around that. Or you could mess about with the radiator brackets to fit it further forward under the rad support 620 looks tuff! Its cool how paint makes it look all fresh again Quote Link to comment
fivetenguy Posted December 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Thanks, Gary! I appreciate your comments. I was thinking you could do that with the fans, but I just wanted to get an opinion from someone that has done it before. I think I should have enough room between the radiator and the grill. I'll post more as it progresses. Quote Link to comment
