Ranman72 Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 Why not paint/detail the engine too? to much time leave that for the new owner if they so desire just my opinion james puts to much time into body and paint to make the engine look good too 1 Quote Link to comment

the510keeper Posted December 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 Thanks Anthony u little Datsun Slut Pulled the taillights and continued to gut this piggy. Taillights are very clean, sweet. Tried a few different sanding / grinding techniques on the roof and decided to strip it. Funny story just found an old pic of the White Knight Stripper :) 6 Quote Link to comment
