Eagle_Adam Posted August 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Thanks again for the timing chain. It's cool to have ratsun members so close to where I live. Np man, better you use it then it hang on my wall in the garage. Let me know when you get your truck running and we can dial in the timing! Link to comment

Eagle_Adam Posted September 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Been a while since ive done ANYTHING to my truck but drive it and put gas in it. So while i was working on my GF's project i had my brother give the truck an oil change and my GF surprised me by repainting the grill badge. still need to install all the new shocks i have, i also picked up some bushings for the rear that need installed. Some day ill have time to get back to my baby and give her some love but not today and not in the foreseeable future :( Link to comment

Eagle_Adam Posted October 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 still havnt had time to work on my truck - been too busy with my GF's wagon, my dads truck, and my brothers truck.... so i just keep buying parts during my lunch breaks at work picked these up for the titans Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted October 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 It's been a long time coming but it looks like my truck may actually get painted one color! Now to decide between a flat black and a matte black..... And call monk to pinstripe it. Man come jan/February my truck will be one color, with a bored out L20 motor running z car flat top pistons, a high compression closed chamber peanut head, twin su carbs, 1piece drive line and a Z car 5speed. All sitting on 18in Titan rims. Exactly what I've wanted since I first bought my truck years ago. 1 Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted October 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 just some ideas for the pin striping when it gets back from paint. So here's the game plan for paint/bodywork: flat/matte black paint gloss black in the engine bay have the body work guys attach the sun visor bed liner in the bed and on the floor of the cab keeping the hooks paint the tool box to match ideas keep swirling so it may change :D Link to comment
izzo Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 I'd go with the matte black. But thats just me, and probably what imma do on the 620 providing i get shit done lulz Link to comment
