  1. Drove down the road for some better pics... rattle can impromptu primer job
  2. Also got tired of the truck being so many colors... I liked the driver sides rat look but as I worked on the passenger side i got tired of it being half primer...so did a little sanding and sprayed some prep junk on it and went to town! forgot to pop the hood vents off so those will have to be cleaned and i still have body work to do (alot) so it will have to be primed again but at least it is 1 color right? and I need to replace the weather stripping around the windows so i didn't my time taping them off.. figured will repaint with the windows out so its not half ass...
  3. got bored and decided to try a rubberized under coating as bed-liner I think it looks pretty good... will see how it holds up
  4. Mesh just didn't look right so i ended up buying a proper grill Set them in place to see what everything looks like. will take a bit of fitting with the cheap valance being imprfect but we will see. Should look OK in the end.
  5. New Valance (custom wrinkles and all) Just had to add a few bends (that what i get for buying a $20 metal body part) It almost bolts right in! I was thinking about cutting the top off the old valance and welding it to the top of this 1 to make this 1 line up with a stock bumper but the metal is a bit thinner then I thought so probably just going to make a bigger grill. We will see
  6. .... Add to the list of thing I didn't think about... Take the grill off I guess lol
  7. Pardon my photochop don't have anything but Paint installed currently
  8. Here is kind of what I plan on doing for the front end: Found this on IMG search but the link didn't go to the picture at all... I am thinking a 83+ valance (I like the lip) and going with a full mesh grill right over the headlights (will eliminate the need to remount headlights if I were to use an 83+ grill) i think it will look pretty sweet assuming I can find a mesh that lets enough light through w/o being completely see through.
  9. Haha lucky for me she also likes working on rigs or I don't think I would ever get anything done. Thanks! Now that I have the seats mounted (Had to weld in all new mounting points) progress has been a bit faster... just wish I had a heated shop so I could do paint.
  10. Sweet! sounds doable. will look into that thanks.
  11. No idea what you are talking about but sounds fun (I normally stick to older American trucks) Right now I'm just doing what I know and leaving the engine alone as it runs great lol Will do some Nissan research so I can understand this foreign tuning a bit better. I'm guessing u67 head is a higher compression head?
  12. DatzunMike: Yes, the truck is basically a late 82 More tach = more power right? just wait till I get some HP stickers to go with it ;) (found it at a yard sale for way cheap couldn't resist) 720inOlyWA: Thanks! The truck has more attitude than anything else... sadly including power and reliability lol. Pulled the seats out of a Pontiac Grand Am
  13. Tried "Full Editor" Mode and it was the same issue. Seems to work on Chrome though! Thanks for the assistance everyone!
  14. I'm thinking it may be explorer. When I copy the link it will not allow me to paste it into my post (or into any comments) unless I go into "BBCode mode" and then when I go back to normal mode it is not the same.. I have downloaded Chrome and will try it on there but right now my account is locked since I forgot my password and tried to many times. I have posted photos in the past so I am not sure why I am having this issue now... We will see in 13 minutes!! is it IE or just and I D 10 T error
