flatcat19 Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Adam, I sent gifts with Ed to make it out your way. Nothing really to do with either 620 of yours-just a little bit of Datsun joy. Make sure you get those. 1 Quote Link to comment

Eagle_Adam Posted March 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Once again my mom for the win! Her eye for crafty type details far surpasses mine and when it comes to detail work with a pen/paint brush she's got me beat hands down..... It's all good tho, cus this is the final outcome for the gear selector "housing" or whatever u wanna call it Bonus internet points when you catch the obvious Adam touch ;) 4 Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted March 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Not quite sure wtf I got on the air cleaner but brake clean wouldn't even take it off :/ Ended up finding some polish in the garage that did the trick tho ;) Much better now :) It's all the small details that are starting to pile up now, but man is it starting to really come together!! 3 Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted March 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 The fan shroud that came with the truck was all cracked up and less than par.... So I left it off But of course I ended up finding one so it got a coat of plastic paint and installed Center console got some fresh paint too! Ended up finding this sweet sheet of white plastic in the trash so I ghetto rigged a painting area I won't have to clean later :) Even the hood trim got some primer and paint :D I'll get Pics tomorrow when they are dry ;) 3 Quote Link to comment

Eagle_Adam Posted April 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 After being sick/boarder line dead for a week +, it's lookn like I should be back at it in a couple days! Right after I recover from a project that started as "one yard of gravel to fill the low spots" that became "7 yards of gravel moved all by hand, a new walkway/path, a new pad to place the trash cans on, and 8 hours with a compactor" And fuck this thing BTW 2 Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted May 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Man I've gotta be setting a damn record! Once again I'm moving while still working on completing this damn truck -.- But this is into a house with a 2 car garage :) 2 Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted May 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Finally found proper replacements for the 30 yr old plastic interior clips And I know they were already black but it was the wrong black..... Old vs new Way too shiny but I fixed em And then a healthy coating of FatMat And then a test fit of the kingcab panels! Woot The panels are dusty as hell in pic :/ And that was all the time I had, seeing as it's not almost 2am 3 Quote Link to comment
Wrench Of Life Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 So that leaves the trans and torque converter as the issue :/ The converter looks fine so it was on to the trans And upon surgery Ed found a damaged fluid pump.... Working on cars in white Nikes. Truly a brave man. :O 1 Quote Link to comment
