pugz Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 well decided to buy back my old datsun. its gonna need a lil tlc but itll be worth it in the end. left at 5pm yesterday to drive to louisana(supposed to leave at noon), and jsut now got home, unloaded the truck, and parked it in its new home. i got some plans for it but trying to get somethings squared away before i get on it. these are just some cell pics from over the night loaded on the trailer to come back to is old/new home kelly taking his last pic of it before we left quick stop because the truck said "trailer disconnected" lol plus one tire was flat so we were glad we stopped(this was about 3am this morning) finally at 5 am(after 12 hours on the road, which should have been 5 hours each way total) we stopped to take a quick nap at the border and finally home and unloaded off the trailer back in her spot in the garage, she was missed. now to just make it look like this again.....(think i missed the truck a lil?) now she sits till i tear her apart for the rebuild. maybe i could run my 22s on it. lol Quote Link to comment
datrat77 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Addict! Bought your own damn truck back I dig it. Quote Link to comment
pugz Posted February 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 ive missed it since it left the first time. ive talked to him a few times to get it back but he would never sell it. finally came into the money at the time he was actaully ready to sell it so i jumped on it. that one reason i got the tattoo. i never thought id get it back so i paid an artist to draw it up and then added it to my sleeve. lol i got a lot of plans for it and am actually going to be building it for SEMA this year. Itll be in the SourceInterlink booth with the guys from Truckin and MiniTruckin Magazines. Should be fun when im done. Quote Link to comment

pugz Posted February 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 this is how it looked before he started all the bodywork. everything in primer now is bodyworked and ready for paint Quote Link to comment
pugz Posted February 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 So is it going to have a giant supercharger and velocity stacks? nah, just a carb swapped ls1 with a 700r4(yes i already have all this), narrowed chevy rear and a deep 18/20 billet combo. working with beebani on swapping the front to disks and balljoints too. also already have a flaming river tilt column, complete ezwiring.com harness, going to redo the rear setup and back half the truck with mandrel bent rails, have an accuair switchspeed controller and a vu4 valve manifold that im going to upgrade the air management with. paint will be just like it was with a few twists and alot more gloss ;) Quote Link to comment

I remember the post where they were first laid down. But I look forward to the fresh start here. Quote Link to comment

pugz Posted February 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Sup bro. She looks haggard, glad she's back in good hands. SHES NOT THAT HAGGERED. EVERYTHING THATS PRIMERED RIGHT NOW IS BODYWORKED AND READY TO SPRAY BASICALLY(MINUS A QUICK BLOCKING) AND THE GLASS IS PULLED OUT FOR PAINT ALSO. glad to see you got it back, what happend to her? I TRADED HER OFF A FEW YEARS BACK FOR A HARDBODY I USED TO HAVE. ALWAYS KEPT IN TOUCH WITH THE OWNER, HE NEVER REALLY WANTED TO SELL HER, HE DID AT ONE POINT AND THEN GOT HER BACK, THEN WOULDNT LET HER GO AGAIN. THEN IT FINALLY CAME TO THE RIGHT PLACE RIGHT TIME AND I GOT HER BACK. NOW SHES HERE TO STAY. SHOULD BE STARTING TO GATHER PARTS OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS BEFORE I TEAR OFF INTO HER.
