mrbigtanker Posted November 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Thought you were buying a hako tanker? The one deal in Japan fell through. This 4 door is from a good friend of mine there. So we will see. Quote Link to comment

P.S. your DeLuxe badge is on crooked #GotYourBack I know but the D and the L hang down so that is about as straight I could get it with out grinding it down. Quote Link to comment

Draker Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Did you have any trouble finding a shop that would plate those hard lines due to the job size? Cost? (PM me if you'd prefer) I'm just trying to get idea of what I'd be looking at to make some stuff pretty again. 1 Quote Link to comment

I used another guy once and boy was that a bad idea. Quote Link to comment
Z chopper Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 I'd offer to loan Tanker my stuff, but I know he will just scoff at me and get the super high end hydraulic flaring tool and the chrome plated benders. LOL. Mark obviously you haven't read lot of what MBT has posted on Ratsun he prefers to pay and watch people build his truck and car the Mr. Moneybags he is 1 Quote Link to comment

tr8er Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Every $ you spend, is a piece of your life you didn't spend doing something you love. Either that or you inherited a shit ton, or you actually make money doing something you love. Tanker, that is not directed at you, just passing on a thought I read elsewhere. I know you earn your shit. But I doubt you love your job. On a related note: Getting into the porn industry makes sense all of a sudden... And straighten that badge. You can't make a car all perfect aside from a crooked badge. 2 Quote Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Every $ you spend, is a piece of your life you didn't spend doing something you love. But the flip side of that notion is this, eventually you start to realize your time is worth more than your money. Not everything I do on my cars is "something I love". I've been telling myself for the last two years I would learn to paint cars myself so I can stop spending money on paint jobs. I'm done with that idea now. :rofl: 2 Quote Link to comment

I do all I can and pay for what I can't do. 1 Quote Link to comment
shacks510 Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Ray, if you have an extra dwar in your toolbox, I can sleep there and work on the 510 for you. I'm looking to earn a few bucks so I can get my car done. 2 Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted November 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Yes I do. And that is not a bad idea cause lord knows I aint got no time. Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted November 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 But you don't have one and that still makes me a deluxe crooked and all.lol Quote Link to comment
Duncan Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Too bad we don't live closer. I am more of a paint and body guy than a mechanic.
