mklotz70 Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Very nice work scooter, I will be scared to drive it when I win it. Going to look too good, will become a trailer queen :angel: Edit, I meant moving conveyance, some here find the "T" word offensive LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!! "Mr-perfect-paint-620" too afraid to drive the 521???!!!!! I highly doubt that!!!! :) You're already used to driving an immaculate rig! It's someone that drives beaters that I'm worried for.....they're not used to worrying about door dings. :) 1 Quote Link to comment

Otherwise........it's just gonna be........... :confused: Paint it white for now, then the red can get added later if desired. The white will certainly stand out and tie in with the rest of the truck.............and we'll easily see any leaks!! LOL!! :) 3 Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 For that matter......if there's a chance Scooter has a few ounces of paint left, the sun can be in the blue and even brushed on if need be. 2 Quote Link to comment

Charlie69 Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Great paint scooter! Busta it is whatevr you and AL agree on for the engine paint , but white paint for an engine is only doable on a show truck IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment

DanielC Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Last Saturday, I went to Eugene, to do some work on the Canby truck. This is just a picture of a rolling frame. DMB suggested I work on the dashboard, specifically, the wires. But first, looking for parts, switches, the harness, all those details. I did get four of the six bolts holding the dash top, to the dash board from the parts originally in "rabbit pen" the truck before it became the Canby truck. The dasboard, and 520 dash top above were donated. I also cleaned the dash switches, and worked them with WD-40, to get them moving again. However, rabbits, or whatever animals were living in "rabbit pen" has chewed the wiring harness pretty bad. That wiring harness was going to need a lot of work. But thanks to mklotz70, A much better wiring harness was shipped to me to use. I am going through it, and hopefully, I can take it back down to Eugene, and get the truck wired. The box of wires, as it arrived. Engine room harness Cab, or dashboard harness. Frame or bed harness. 7 Quote Link to comment

datsunrides Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 With the quality of this build so far, the real winner will be whoever gets the proceeds from the ticket sales. Everyone who attends Canby should buy at least $100 worth of tickets. Also, props to all that have donated their labor, because without that, the parts mean nothing (so to speak). I have offered to Al to supply funds to buy you guys lunch one day, so if you want a free lunch in exchange for some manual labor, I'm buying! Busta, if your interested, shoot me a PM to discuss a donation toward the engine build, but you have to paint the engine hemi orange. (JK) Mark 5 Quote Link to comment
