denmarkboy Posted April 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Its time for a parts needed update, After talking with mklotz and busta nut yesterday it is clear we need a few more parts to finish off this beautiful truck . Parts wish list , Alternator starter door looks & ignition switch If you can or would like to help with any of these parts please pm me . I am also looking for the font used for the tailgate letters so I can get a set printed in the same same color as the blue we used on the window . 3 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 The font for the tailgate letters might be sourced through Rusty on DMT He makes and sells the vinyl tell gate letters. I do not go on Datsun Mini Truckin any more because the white letters and the black background cause me to get bad headaches. This truck is turning out BEAUTIFUL!!! 1 Quote Link to comment

Rhino13 Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Al, I put the door locks in one of the bags and the passenger one still had the key code. From what I remember they were both in tact, just had some of that paint on them. 5 Quote Link to comment
