hobospyder Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 How functional is it? Like I see cup holders and what looks like a flip door at the end? 1 Quote Link to comment
gene knight Posted April 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Just an access panel to the bed floor 1 Quote Link to comment
gene knight Posted April 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 Went to the paint Shop yesterday to get an update stays on my truck, I'm getting disappointed with the guy who told me it would be done at the end of March. He has only worked on tailgate and right side of bed. I gave him an ultimatum. Since I have even gave him 80% payment, I need it done by end of month cuz I have a show mid may and need it driveable 1 Quote Link to comment
gene knight Posted May 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Here is a recent picture of work being done, which I'm pissed off cuz it was supposed to be done by end of March. The painter assured me that it will be done in 2 weeks or he will give it back to me and my money, which then I will have to take to another Shop to finish it http://s986.photobucket.com/user/dat521/media/20170429_121545_1.jpg.html?filters[user]=106664200&filters[recent]=1&sort=1&o=0 1 Quote Link to comment
gene knight Posted May 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Yeah, I think he just slap on some body filler the day before to make it look like he done something 1 Quote Link to comment

S30Jay Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 It'll be worth the wait Gene. Nothing beats a fresh coat of paint! 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 Gene it is great that he is taking it back to bare metal and bringing it back. This removes all the spray can paint and will be a more durable long lasting finish. 3 Quote Link to comment

willz Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 Good body work takes a long time, used to do it for a living. I've got bad OCD when it comes to that stuff. Took me 2 weeks to do a tank for my buddies cb750 1 Quote Link to comment

Charlie69 Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 Gene work on having it done for the Williams run. Quote Link to comment
gene knight Posted May 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 I'm hoping it will be ready for our BBQ 1 Quote Link to comment
S30Jay Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Gene, it looks like your truck has alot of good metal! Being from Pennsylvania I'm not used to that. Usually a stripped Datsun here reveals lots of poorly patched holes.... And usually a good deal of rust still there despite being covered with paint. It took old Grimace a long time to earn this paint job.... Have some patience. It'll be worth the wait! 1 Quote Link to comment
gene knight Posted May 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 Well it looks like I'm going to have to find a different painter cuz the guy I paid to finish my truck is worthless and is taking on more work payload than he can handle. And it is still in same condition as last picture shows. I gave him a deadline and has been giving the run around and says it will be done by end of the month. It was supposed to be done by end of March, here it is June and still not done Quote Link to comment
gene knight Posted June 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 yes it does Quote Link to comment
gene knight Posted June 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 here are the most recent updates to grimace and i was told that the a-hole has to move again by end of month and he has moved from that place before and that makes 4 times in last 3 years that he has moved from various locations. i think i might have to beat his ass cuz he used my primer on someone else's car and i guess i will have to repo my truck and supplies cuz i probably wont see my money that i already paid him ($1100) 2 Quote Link to comment
S30Jay Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 That's a bummer Gene. I'm sorry man. 2 Quote Link to comment
gene knight Posted June 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Me and charlie went to express our views about how the lack of work has been done to grimace, I gave him my final ultimatum to the painter, I told him it needs to be done and done right cuz next Wednesday I will be taking grimace home, if not done right then there will be consequences, he doesn't want to mess with this army veteran who has special forces training, and i can put an end to his career, apparently he has screwed others over as well, he had moved at least 4 times in last 3 years and he has used my supplies on other vehicles 1 Quote Link to comment
