For now im going to keep the stock J13, it runs really well, and im trying to keep the project on a budget. Once it decides to give out, im going to swap it with a KA24de out of a late model 240.

OK, im done highjacking my dads thread now!

 

i love to see a truck the way it is meant to be, sitting on ground

 

keepin my mouth shut on this one. i really hope you mean any nissan, toyota, or chevy minitruck, haha.

 

nice!!

 

Now all of you guys need to talk my dad into bagging his box. It really needs it bad!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

oh no. full size looks good too.

a lot of trucks can look great lifted or slammed. some only lifted , some only slammed. the majority can look good either way.

but it's all taste.

one things for sure. any dodge ram newer that say 1980 looks horrible when slammed.

 

Airedout... I agree with Darren (Hotbox05) on your wheels. I come from a minitruck background myself. I have a '99 Dakota R/T laid out on 20" Intros.

I totally dig the classic Datsun. I would love to get my hands on some old Japanese sheet metal, but not right now.

Anyway, if you are interetsed in Intos, let me know. I have a buddy who works for them that can probably get you some decent pricing for billet. They also do a really nice clear coat that cuts maintenance down tremendously for a polished wheel. Besides... if you can afford those shockwaves, you can swing for billets.

 

are there going to be interior accents to match this awesome paint scheme?

 

Maybe. I have kept the interior stockish subdued so far . I like it that way. But!! I may change my mind eventually. I did the bodycolor parts of the car that show in the interior (edge of doors by windows and tailgate interior surfaces) in black (Window edges and lower tailgate) and a light grey (upper tailgate) semigloss interior urethanes mixed to match the interior plastics. The hood is bright enough through the windshield that perhaps I need no more color on the inside

 

update please.....hope you are running black wheels.that would look good

 

Already updated. Here is one finished pic go back to page one to see this and more

 

Sweet! Looks paint looks so nice! like the grille in the front too!

 

Turned out great.

 

The chrome wheels that are on is set off the paint really well. Black would be way to subdued. None of these pics do the car any justice at all, you really have to see it in person!

 

hmmm... how long would it take me to drive to where you are to paint my car... LOL... awesome job mang...

 

That depends on how fast you drive and whether you get lost or not

 

HAIL NO!!!! Black wheels would look absofreakinlutely AWFULL on such a nice paintjob. The wheels he has look VERY NICE!!!! I would have gone chromed TRDs 18s

 

Clean

 

BAG THE BOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I figure if i keep telling you to bag it, one day you might actually do it!!

 

Only problem with bagging is the cost of the bags could go for other mods instead. Un less it is a SHOW vehicle only I'd stick with drop springs. But thats me!
