mcordero8 Posted June 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Thanks guys, I bought these rims on craigslist a while back and the guy I bought them from told me that they were from the early 90's. He also said that they were either American Racing Rims or Prime Rims. I wrapped them in 225/50/R15 Sumitomo Tires. It's kind of funny because before my truck was stolen back in the early 90's I had my eye on a set of these rims so when these came around I felt like it was meant to be. Quote Link to comment
isomswim Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Freaking sweet. Color is amazing. Still turn OK with 225s? My 235s were ridiculous felt like I had to be jay cutler to turn at all Quote Link to comment
mcordero8 Posted June 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 It turns OK not the best but for the looks it's a sacrifice I have to take. It's not going to be a daily driver anyway so I can live with it. Quote Link to comment
isomswim Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Yea little different than mine. I'm try to make mine daily. It still looks freaking sweet Quote Link to comment

gene knight Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 nice work on the truck, I have some rust issues on my 77 kc and I like what you have done with the por-15. to bad you live in tracy, ca. cuz I would have you come to phoenix and give me a hand on repairing the rust and do the same with the por-15 Quote Link to comment
puffm Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Thanks, a lot of people like the original colors better and, I think they look cool too, but I am trying to get my truck to look like the one I use to have. I hope yours comes out good. Please post some pictures when you get a chance. I would like to see your progress. Getting the car back in a week hopefully, then all that is left is sort out my tray, only have a flat bed at the moment, decide whether Ill use door mount or fender mount mirrors, paint the chassis and re-paint the floor pans.e Here are some photos of the car when I purchased it, indeed it was purchased from a farm shed, hadnt been driven for 10 years Will definitely post pics up once I get the car back! 1 Quote Link to comment

mcordero8 Posted July 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 I got my mirrors on ebay. Here is the link. They are a little pricey but they look really nice. They are from England and they are stainless steel. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-S-S-Bullet-Mirrors-Lotus-Elan-Datsun-1600-TVR-BMW-Alfa-Sunbeam-Tiger-VW-SCCA-/151353621926?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item233d60fda6&vxp=mtr Quote Link to comment

Screechbruh Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Your truck looks pretty dam good! Nicely done! If you don't mind me asking, on estimate, how much money did you spend to make it look like that?! Quote Link to comment
mcordero8 Posted July 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 I use to work in purchasing, so I try to do everything on a budget. altogether I probably got about $2500 in it so far. the paint alone was $600 and I had a friend that did the body work and paint for $1000. I think it is coming out good for the amount of money I have put in it so far. 1 Quote Link to comment
Screechbruh Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Thats not bad at all. Where do you live so i can go paint mine with him?! The front of it looks really nice. i might have to order that metal grill as well! Quote Link to comment

mcordero8 Posted August 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 So now that I'm done with the outside I am starting to work on the inside. Here is where I am at so far. First I got my steering wheel in then I started working on the floors. I put some U-Seal from Home Depot to help with sound deadening then I put some insulation to help with heat and cold. Here is a pic of how that turned out.20140808_193107_resized by on Flickr Once that was done I started putting my carpet in. It turned out okay. Let me know what you guys think.20140808_201954_resized by on Flickr 3 Quote Link to comment
