codyh Posted April 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Another update I was hanging on to... Thursdays update. We mainly blocked out blemishes in the first layering of primer. And did a number on the right side of the compartment. There use to be a hole over there for the windshield solvent. But we filled it and filled a large seam, and fixed the rough spot by the motor mount where i posted a pic in my last update!!! http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/206491_10150150826451099_741701098_6793642_5038306_n.jpg Generous work space.

Otis Nice Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 The whole truck is beat to aids and back. By "help" do you by chance mean "do most of the work while I watch, hand materials, buy you a happy meal, and try not to huff primer" b/c if so I'm game. Seriously though, I need to get rid of dents, get new bumpers that aren't rusted through, and just paint it black. Nothing fancy or expensive. It's a beat up ol' POS truck.

(I will still have the pros there paint the car when its time) http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/216529_10150151779326099_741701098_6799583_6958262_n.jpg Just the usuall first shot... http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/205142_10150151779381099_741701098_6799584_2152214_n.jpg That Fender needed help. http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/205582_10150151779411099_741701098_6799585_3244274_n.jpg More dents filled.

Bahnstoermer1647545488 Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Dear god son, that's a lot of work! I don't know who you've had to help you learn, but that's fantastic! I struggled like mad at age 16 to learn how to work on my POS Jeep CJ-7 LOL. You more than deserve a nice car when you're done with it!

codyh Posted May 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Why stretch it, i ran a 225 and it fit easily. I will be stretching it so my tires dont rub on the sidewalls. Bahnstoermer, Thank you!! Alot was learned from my dad, body work was learned by body shop specialist, and the rest was mostly trial and error! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spankis Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 This thread was started during the 2 weeks I was in Florida, and I had completely missed it up to now. Very cool build though, and as others have said great work for your age. It reminds me of all my work on my Stealth, although I was ~20 and much less body work was involved .

codyh Posted May 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Anyhow I have an update. Prom is over with, and I got paid yesterday so now I have money. Not much tho because of a ticket. I bought a new shift boot, E-brake boot, and a new center console arm rest, all of which have been wrapped in Italian black leather with red stitching. So its JDM like! lol I have some cell pics. I hope for these to be a nice addition to the simple (but clean) interior I hope for! http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/247532_10150188298716099_741701098_7121258_3867114_n.jpg http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/250307_10150188297991099_741701098_7121246_4779318_n.jpg http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/230077_10150188298046099_741701098_7121248_6197389_n.jpg Also the REALLY big thing I bought that Im super excited for is a piece from ESP.
