Siempreloco Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Man.. I dont know what to say about your truck, its not anything like I want mine to be...but i like it a lot..it has all kinds of small unique elements, and it just looks RIGHT...like I can feel that this is the direction you want and you're succeeding and THAT is why its so nice. I'm embarrassed of my truck till i can get it how I want it.... 1 Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted February 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Thanks man! She's in an odd direction for sure. To be honest, as she sits it's far from where I want it to be. I envision it tucking some stupid flush wide wheels, but $$$ is keeping me from doing so. I got it in such interesting form already, so she was already 10 steps ahead of where I expected to be for what i spent on it. I'm really happy with the way she looks right now. I just need to get a few small elements finished and she'll be perfect. She's dead reliable right now and I'm really happy for that. Quote Link to comment

metalmonkey47 Posted February 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 ^^^this is what it looks like when some bitch in a gay SUV decided to get frisky with a bumble bee. It was a tiny bit dinged before, but come on! Bitch just drove off like I wouldn't notice. Quote Link to comment
Farmer Joe Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 did you get her plate number? report it to the po po... Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted February 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 did you get her plate number? report it to the po po... Naw, she was gone before I realized what happened. My tail light lens is broken in two pieces now too :( I think she may have caught it with some trim pieces on her bumper when she was backing up. ergggggg Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted February 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 More progress. It's turning out pretty good so I think I'll get some more for my bed. Also, some other random pics. I did the pan gasket. VERY easy. Just have to un bolt the center support under the pan, slides straight out. After that, center steering link needs to be unhooked from one side, turn the steering wheel in to move it out so you can pull it out to clear the pan, and the pan comes straight down. Took me about 2 hours. Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted March 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 I'll start updating this as I rebuild her after the accident.... for now... I need to fix my tape lines.. but here's my 15's. Wide little girls. Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted March 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Video = click... also... Valve cover got more shinier :D Still far from finished. Header is now on.. Quote Link to comment
budsaipan Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Great job on the car. Came a long way. I'm jealous you have all the good stuff down there. Summit and discount tires. Damn. :cool: Btw: Got done packing the nismo manifold for our trade. Hope you put good use to it. :P Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted March 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Thanks man, we kinda do get lucky here I guess That manifold will serve me well! Now to update... I've noticed that I have a worsening rattle in the valve cover (sounds like loose valves) so I'm going to go ahead and adjust them before my interview tomorrow. I have about 2000 miles on Castrol 10w-30 and a Napa Gold, so I know it's not that. I haven't adjusted them since I got the truck, so It's probably about time. I swapped my old copper NGK plugs with some new Platinum 7084's and gapped them to .44 and got a little bit more mid-range power and a more consistent idle, so I'm really satisfied with the way the trucks running right now.

metalmonkey47 Posted March 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Just been trying to catch up on maintenance. After my accident, I've decided to make my brakes 1st priority. I've got a new master cylinder to go on tomorrow, replaced a leaking front cyl last week, and I'm going to the next one tomorrow. I've seriously considered buying a set of beebani's disk brackets and making the conversion to front disk. I'm just trying to make a decision between that and Weber's for my Nismo manifold. MOAR oics tomorrow. Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted March 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Just a random under the shot hood. I've been cleaning up small stuff here and there. Did brake master today and seems to be a little better. Time will tell. I never shared too many interior pics, so here's one for you guys. Excuse the mess, I was working on the interior today. This will give you an idea how big this manifold is. Pretty beefy! I'm mounting the spare tire against the far side of the bed. I'm gonna pull the bed and drill two mount holes and use long steel rod to hold it on. Should look pretty nice and it will all be hidden under the dog dish. Been thinking about leaving the rims patina. I think I'll just go ahead and sand them, but I'm gonna go ahead and do a high gloss black on the whole rim for two, and the front two are gonna be 2 tone. Quote Link to comment
