menotknow Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 I stole that quote from you, I remember you saying it when you were talking about your cortina once Yeah I remember saying it. It's true but. And look what happens when you get it right on. Winner! Quote Link to comment
peanut2425 Posted September 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 It's time to do the tub yo! A bit of paint stripper Looks pretty straight huh? WRONG Right rear Right front Left rear Some clown of a previous owner secrwed this up well and good. It had loads of bog in it, it's beat to hell and the body line is half missing, there was no body line before with all the bog that was on it. Had to attempt to pull out a missive dint in the corner, geeez some people obviously can't drive :mad: It looks like allot but really isn't, I could've just done the dints and there would've just been litle spots but I'm trying to get it as smooth as I can. Hopefully I should have the thing in paint and sitting on the car by the end of the week. That imaginary image in my head is what is giving me the motivation to soldier on. :drool: Yeeeeeeeeew!

lynchfourtwenty Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 i like how you left the bed in like that, most people just chop it to shit an leave a big ugly hole ect.. thats kinda unique in my eyes, keep up the good work.. an pics :D Quote Link to comment
menotknow Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Sweet! Yeah there're a few dints there. Should look good when it's all smooth. Would be worth the effort when the sun shines on it late afternoon and it's straight as a die, I suspect anyway. Raised bed floors are the best and only way to go. Looks good man. Coming along very nicely. I'm anticipating seeing this thing tuckin whiteline in the back. The imaginary picture is king! Yewwww! Quote Link to comment
menotknow Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 I really like the tray hooks too. They look like gonzo's nose. Tray hooks for the win! Quote Link to comment

But they'll still think something is up with the floor looking like that, oh well :fu: Quote Link to comment
peanut2425 Posted September 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Kinda like this but a little different Quote Link to comment
djlotus Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Me thinks that the truck is gonna look quite nice when you finish it. Here's a potentially stupid question: tailgate still functional? I ask because it looks like it could be used for access or maybe you put in a box/shelf for a little pseudo trunk.

I ask because it looks like it could be used for access or maybe you put in a box/shelf for a little pseudo trunk. Not a silly question at all. The filler pops out of the step down. the tailgate will still be functional, I want to leave the old school latches and such and there will be no trunk but the step down should make for a nice area to store nic nacs and miscialanious (spelling) items/objects. yea it wont but much use as a truck any more.. so those hooks are gonna be pure looks lol! :P I reckon I could still chuck some stuff on the back and tie it down if need be, but the stuff would just sit way higher than the roof whatever the stuff may be. still functional but will look stange when carrying things Quote Link to comment
yello620 Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 yea it wont but much use as a truck any more.. so those hooks are gonna be pure looks lol! :P And they will look damn good too... Jason Quote Link to comment

Damb single wall beds :mad: Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 we mostley refer to it as "Bondo" but i understood 100% what he meant by bog :P ding outs are a bitch! maybe i'll make some of those nice panels to cover the sides of the bed so that doesnt happen any more.. now that i have an electric sander i can do a little body work when i get my tranny back in :D Quote Link to comment
peanut2425 Posted September 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 an ya thats true you could still tie down some stuff.. well if we all had shaved hooks who would i poke fun at then?? maybe the guys without AirDams haha That's alright, you can poke fun at me about the hooks if you like, and the air dam too, caus I don't like them and you catch me dead with one :thumbdown::P I have pretty much finished the bed except for a couple of spots that I have to finish up, and I'm now starting on the tailgate, which by the way has more dimples that your mothers celulite :D. I envy you guys over there, you would just be able to chuck a shit one away and find a good one no worries, but I have to work with what I have. :mad:. But yeah, should be in high fill by tomorrow, and then sanding and painting on thursday if I'm real keen :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment
peanut2425 Posted October 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 My F'd up tailgate, The pictures don't really show but there is hardly a straight bit on it. I was pretty close to cutting the skin off and putting on a smooth one caus I thought it was that bad, but I thought it would be too much work and I really wanted the datsun stamp. All bogged up and wire brushed ready for primer filler End result I kinda feel like I should have a BBQ on the inside of the tailgate, probly a bad idea though considering it is right next to the filler More soon:D Quote Link to comment
menotknow Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Looks smooth. Good work bro! I think it's gonna look outrageously excellent. Nice progress. I look forward to the more soon. Red tomorrow? Yeah. Keep it coming, nearly there! Quote Link to comment
peanut2425 Posted October 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Haha, we'll see how well I done with getting it smooth, if I didn't do too bad should get some colour, but if I didn't it might take some time to get stuff right, see how I go anyway, I wish it was tomorrow already so I could start Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 You work fast like me :cool: Looks like you kept the "bog" to a minimum..HaHa. Sorry i like that slang word :D Quote Link to comment
