rollinsrods Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 Looking to be my DD while my other 620 gets some more love...The orange behind the grill's gotta go when the lip gets trimmed and bent. Loving the old school stripes-so it's hard to paint over this one. 2 Quote Link to comment
mcordero8 Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 That's a good looking truck. 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 Great score? I love the orange, is that a factory paint job? And of course we need more pictures!!! Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 Just rattle can black to cover what shows on the rad support. Quote Link to comment
orangie Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 I never thought anything past the grill really stood out unless you take a picture with a flash in the front. I guess I'll mount the grill and see how the aluminum radiator stands out. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 Again a high temp flat black will cover it. Black (flat black even better)radiates more heat than aluminum/silver or any light shadecolor. Quote Link to comment
rollinsrods Posted December 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Mike-exactly what I was planning. Great score, Charlie69! Bought it a few months ago on a tip from a friend at the bar! Not a factory paint job-seems Maacoish. Even blue masking tape pulls the orange off... :sleep: I want to get the pin striping copied and cut so I can paint it and replace the old school stuff afterwards. MCordero8-thanks! I think so, too! Orangie-a good, sunny day shows the same as the flash pics, so I always suggest hitting the core support with high temp black, even with a silver or other colored grill-makes the grill pop quite a bit. Most American muscle cars have that stock just for that reason. I am also not opposed to seeing shiny high quality radiator through the grill..JMO. Not as nice as my other truck, but great to DD while fixing up the other one. I'll get more pics up when it isn't raining constantly and the holiday travels are over with. Currently an L20b with a 32/36 Weber, 4 speed, 3 inch lowering, 69 Camaro front lip, and Saturn alternator. Quote Link to comment
distributorguy Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 I love the orange! The Hitachi alternator is better than any Delco piece of junk. Been there, done that, highly disappointed. Rustoleum spray cans #7777 semi-gloss black is a perfect match to most 'Merican muscle car underhood black, plus it fades out just like stock Datsun paint.
