Pacific coast Datsun Posted February 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 The tint comes down 7 1/2 inches which is alot & probably illegal but o well it looks kool. I shot the dash with my touch up gun, it's water based paint w/ 3 coats of clear on top. Jeff i can take u through the steps to prep something for paint anytime. Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted March 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Allright i made my 1st cuts into the body last night. I made a box & welded it in for the plate. I extended it over to the corner of the bed & that part stays put when the gate is opened. Look closely & youll see a dent where i ended up cutting. Some jackass pulled a hit & run at the junkyard. It needs some grinding & bodyfiller next..sorry for the cell pics... boxes made... holes cut, notice the bracing that had to be cut too... in place... tacked in... 2 Quote Link to comment

Pacific coast Datsun Posted March 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Ok not a huge mod but i decided to get rid of the factory gate latches. A bit of welding, body filler, & sanding & theyre gone. It only took about 1 1/2 hours to do... 1 Quote Link to comment
