Boaty Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 I'm not sure exactly how a person would do it... but since Sam said he'll supply the MIG, I guess we could do some patching on your truck after I stitch weld the dime? If anything, you can get some MIG experience :D Quote Link to comment

Siqx20 Posted June 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Did a little work today. Played with the idea of two tone paint. I personally like it. Will look good when the bed is painted and done. still gonna go over it all with some 1k and 2k wet sanding to blend it and fade it out some. Pics. Then had some fun ;) Still have to sand it a little as well. And some phone pics for fun Quote Link to comment
dvboth Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 hows that motor doing? Quote Link to comment
Siqx20 Posted July 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Still running good :) pretty sure it needs stem seals but that's no biggie. Jst ordered up some proper jet sizes for the carb. Its jetted way way to lean. Put those in once they show up along with a full carb rebuild. Should help that motor out some. Quote Link to comment
Siqx20 Posted July 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Picked one of these up today for $2 at a garage sale. brand new. Its a legitimate fog light from GE. Plus side is it has a part number so i can find a matching one easy at any part house :D Quote Link to comment
Siqx20 Posted July 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 thank you. Im stoked cause i been looking for the merc lights cause they are flutted to project a wide pattern like a fog light(duh) I didnt wanna jst do yellow highs. but i wasnt able to find any. was rummaging a yard sale and spotted em and offered the guy 2 bux. Done! Quote Link to comment
Siqx20 Posted July 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Also getting the hubs on my titans bored out tomorrow hopefully. dropping them off with my buddy who works at a machine shop :D soon to have some tires on dem! jst gotta roll my fenders still. Quote Link to comment
Siqx20 Posted July 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 So got the truck all one color. Still gotta do a little sanding and some finishing touches. then pics. :) Havent been on ratsun in a little while so i figures i would let all u eager ppl kno where im at lol. Been going over lots of ideas with my buddy sam about baggin the truck so jst waiting till i find my own place to live with a garage so we can start it. Waiting on him to get my titans back to me so i can get some tires on them then i will get the fenders rolled and get the wheels on there. I gotta adjust my torsion rods so im evenly lowered. having 3 different kinds of tires doesnt help either lol. As of right now the truck isnt running. I went camping last night and the alternator took a shit. had to drive home at 10 o'clock at night in the rain with no lights or wipers. sketchy as fuck. but steve (Boaty) was with me in his 510 so he led the way lol. would have waited till morning to leave but there was no place to camp last night. got the truck home and waiting to get a alternator....

Siqx20 Posted July 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Yeah for sure it wasnt a very long drive it just took forever cause we were going hella slow and would pull over to let ppl go by since i didnt really have tail lights or brake lights. Quote Link to comment
Siqx20 Posted July 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 So got my alternator being made up. custom 105 amp in a saturn case (smaller body, same mounts) along with a adapter pigtail to plug and play right into my harness. I wanted a bigger amp rating to power my stereo once i install it and to power my compressors when i get my air ride going. Shhwing Quote Link to comment
