I have something else planned for that spot, and that trend didn't really start till the mid 80's. Im tryin to keep it circa late 70's style.Thanks for the props, I am pretty stoked about the progress. Quote Link to comment
Z chopper Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 that area on the tailgate is for a Barbarian mural which was big in the 70s, correct? Quote Link to comment

MOODSTER Posted May 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 ok considering the japanese roots of Datsuns maybe samurai mural? Somewhere in this thread or another I gave away the name of this truck- "El Tiki Diablo" you can probably guess which direction I'm going.That will be a while, first gotta get it in paint then assemble it, then new exhaust and some interior work. The striping will come last. Quote Link to comment

A buddy of mine is suposed to send me one of those " keep on truckin" licence plate frames from his stash. It will be the finishing touch! Quote Link to comment
MOODSTER Posted May 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Well, I was going to go to my bro's last Sunday to spray the jambs, underhood, cab and bed back etc, BUT - I had a heart attack instead. So now I will be in recovery mode for a month or so and I don't know when I will have her back on the road. Iv'e had setbacks in the past but this one takes the cake! Quote Link to comment

Guest Rick-rat Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 I know what setbacks are like, take your time to get well and don't worry about the truck until you are well. Take good care of yourself. Quote Link to comment
