  1. Yeah I called this dude. He seemed confident I could jump in and drive it home!! I definitely DO NOT need another project.
  2. That would be cool. I'm definitely interested. Really need a daily driver. But if it's something simple enough that I can fix it there and drive it home that would work. Thanks man!!!!! And yes I have realized the error of my ways and promise not to depart from the faith again. :-)
  3. I miss my truck. Take good care of him.
  4. Howdy after my brief moment of psychosis that involved selling my 620 and buying a VW I'm back on the search for a Datsun. I think I'll try a car this time. Wagon would be preferable but I'm open. Needs to be a runner though. I MUST be able to jump in and drive to work (about 30 mi. round trip). Budget is around $1000. Thanks !!!! Monk.
  5. '75 620 Super straight Lowered with 3" blocks in the back and screwed down in front. Been my daily driver for two years. On to new project. $1200 I can send pictures upon request. Call or text. 971 241 5491 Thanks Can't do pictures here. No computer only my phone. Sorry
  6. Howdy! Check out the Pinheadlounge.com Great place to learn and see many other peoples work. As far as the Kafka brush I have a couple but I like the Mack Bobbo better cause it's shorter. You should probably get a Mack seris 10 (blue wrap) size 00 to learn with. It does straight lines better. Kafkas are designed for the scroll stuff. I use mineral spirits to thin my paint. If you are going to clear over you MUST put hardener in it or it WILL lift!!! wash the brush in mineral spirits befor you paint! the brush comes with glue in it for shipping. wash the brush out , gently pat dry with a cloth or paper towel, then soak in oil(I use mineral oil, DO NOT use trans fluid or motor oil as it will eat the brush) be sure to work the oil into the ferrul. now rinse it lightly in spirits again and start painting ! the glass idea is a great way to practice. Also check out the Wizzards "Pinstripe Basics" video. It's great! If you have any other questions or just want to share frustration, my email is hotrodmonk55@gmail.com Remember it supposed to be FUN !!!! Chris (Monk) Depuy
  7. The guy walked p as I was putting the card on the window. Nice older gent. All stock except wheels and lowering. Oh yeah...Newberg Ace Hardware.
  8. I'll have a booth set up to do pinstriping. So bring stuff you want painted!
  9. Yup last year was LAME! That being said I hope to make it this year :blush: It would be cool to bombard the old car nite!!
