Pumpkn210 Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 ok you can bring me back my truck now :P thing looks great, so much better lower. are you still looking at painting it? Ha Ha no shit huh! Thing looks slick. I like the blue with black, and the sun hood is cool! Now all you gotta do is get rid of the front leaf spring perch (man I hate those) stickin down and your set! Quote Link to comment

skunk Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 so have you found the big crack in the grill? or did chris even show you that? when i got the truck it had the other grill (the ugly one) i found that one at a junk yard. it was in two parts :unsure: . i used some of that putty to steel stuff and got it to hold back together then painted it black. So far no ones found the crack when i told them to look for it. :lol: oh yeah, and theres no clear coat on the hood or on the inside, i just sanded and painted. Im not sure how much JDM510 told you about the truck when he sold it to you. did he give you all the paper work from the past owners? Quote Link to comment

elmerfudpucker Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 The only thing I see, minor detail, is painting behind the grill core support black. But she looks so much better and this is more proof positive that it is the owner that makes the dog right or wrong! :thumbup: Damn good piece of work you have there! :D EDIT: The bad owner I was refering to was JDM510 not Skunk, just to clairify to the rest of you.

skunk Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 it does looks worlds better lower, still my paint job adds to the bad ass-ness of that little truck. i wanted to do one of the black datsun stickers that runs the length of the truck on the bottom. And make a black bed cover and paint the top rail + bed hooks black. Some deep dish wheels and some ZG flairs and that little truck would be sick. but thats what i was going to do, im sure you have your ideas that you want to do :P ill get myself another reg cab 620 some day, Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 I had an 84 2 door jetta, i loved that car! lowered, white leather momo steering wheel & shifter, white rims, white car lol.... had racing bucket seats in it. Thing was fast. Quote Link to comment

Grey_Matter Posted September 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Non black core supports are my #1 pet peeve! the rad support is black, its just very faded and dirty Quote Link to comment
elmerfudpucker Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 the rad support is black, its just very faded and dirty I ment the blue you see behind the grill between the lights and radiator. I wonder what a billet grill would look like on there... ;) Quote Link to comment
