MOODSTER Posted June 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Okay, before anyone asks--- this is flat paint! It's "Hot Rod Flatz" Rust Pearl. In the sun you can see the gold pearl and it looks better in the sun. So, after a couple days of curing I will be slinging this back together. My tube grill and tailight housings are in the chrome shop. So the next pic's you see will be pretty much a done truck other than interior. Quote Link to comment

Z chopper Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 do you plan on rhino liner for inside the bed or are your plans for an upohlstered/carpet bed liner? Quote Link to comment
sedition88 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Pretty cool. You going to drop is a little lower or keep this height? I've thought about doing a chop on my 620, but I'm waiting till I pick up another one. Keep it up! :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
MOODSTER Posted June 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 do you plan on rhino liner for inside the bed or are your plans for an upohlstered/carpet bed liner? I will use the same raptor liner that I sprayed underneath it's a pro use bedliner. Pretty cool. You going to drop is a little lower or keep this height? I've thought about doing a chop on my 620, but I'm waiting till I pick up another one. Keep it up! :thumbup: I want pull another leaf to get the rear wheel well just to cover the very top of the tire.I want a slight rake. If you ever do chop one, get an extra cab and doors to do it right. It was a hella lotta work to get that profile (I used 3 tops for mine). Quote Link to comment

Z chopper Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 looks very much better Quote Link to comment
MOODSTER Posted June 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 My garage is way cooler today. Got "El Tiki diablo" some company. Glass guy came out to install the windshield today and the glass was about 3/8" to tall, back to his shop to trim.He might be back on monday.I sure hope so. 1 Quote Link to comment
lovedatsun Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Two weeks to go! If I can avearge 2 hours a night and have 2 Saturdays and one Sunday,by the 28th, I should be able to roll into the picnic and park this thing and relax for a few hours. Very nice project.I like you idea. Quote Link to comment
MOODSTER Posted June 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 "Very nice project.I like you idea" Thank you, but it wasn't my idea completley. This truck was chopped when I got it (very poorly) . And, people have done this to these trucks for a very long time. I just wanted to do mine "Better".. Quote Link to comment
MOODSTER Posted June 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Okay- a little more progress. I have a windshield!!! And, yes it's glass! I also installed this old O/G signature Nardi wheel.Much better that the ol one..One day at a time. Quote Link to comment
Silvester Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Oh hell yeah! Did you have the 620 window cut to size? Quote Link to comment
MOODSTER Posted June 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Oh hell yeah! Did you have the 620 window cut to size? I had to buy a new one ( my truck did not have one when I got it) and you will almost always break an old windshield when you cut it. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Looks great! Interior needs a bit of dusting though. :lol: 1 Quote Link to comment
MOODSTER Posted June 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 2eDeYe' timestamp='1340979618' post='710213']Looks great! Interior needs a bit of dusting though. :lol: Yeah, the photo really enhances the condition of the interior--well,the lack there of interior. It will get fluffed enough to cruise it until I get the scratch to cover everything.It's a progress shot.Dusty is allowed! Quote Link to comment
Z chopper Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 do you plan on running with the 510 bucket seats that are in it now? Quote Link to comment
MOODSTER Posted June 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 do you plan on running with the 510 bucket seats that are in it now? Those are actually stock 620 king cab seats.(not 510) They bolt right in , and yes, I will be using those.I am 5-11 and can fit in and see well considering the chop. Quote Link to comment
Z chopper Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 hmmm the seat bottom looks like 510, interesting Quote Link to comment
MOODSTER Posted June 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 They ( seats) came out of a 620,(king cab) they bolted in, and fit like they were made for a 620. They probably shared the design across the board on models in those days to be cost efficient.I don't care about any of that crap.It's my cruiser.I just do what I like as long as it's period style.It's just a toy.
