[Eagle_Adam]

everything was bad with his old cab.....




sry i missed you on Sunday josh, i was passed the fuck out.

[Converted_to_datsun]

Yep Adams right lol the old cab had rust literally everywhere. Around the windsheild, core support, inner fenders, rockers, floors and everywhere in between. Luckily the bed isn't original either haha I found an inventory number written on it from a junk yard.

It's fine dude, I basically just went home and sat on the couch. Rain sucks for body work

[Eagle_Adam]

what are you doing with my old frame?

i need those tires back for winter wheels

[Laecaon]

Trailer! Trailer!

[Eagle_Adam]

Trailer! Trailer!

+1!!!!!

but i still need my wheels and tires back when your done

[Converted_to_datsun]

I'd do a trailer but the bed is no good and the axle is bent. Probably just gonna scrap the frame and old cab. And yea the wheels are yours Adam lol gonna see if pick and pull will pick it up without any wheels

[Eagle_Adam]

Dude, if u just want it gone I've got a scrap guy that will come get it

Since my last update I got a new throttle cable and made a better bracket to mount it for the su's. My gas pedal is allot smoother now and sticks less. Then I did the body work and primer on my fenders and the panel that goes under the bumper. I started sanding them but the garage sucks when it's dark out, so I'll finish tomorrow before I lay down color. Then in preparation for a new 2" exhaust in the near future I picked up a magniflow single chamber muffler. If all goes well with the fenders the hood and cowel are next. Also gonna weld up the doors at work and start prepping them ASAP.

Nice new bracket


New panels


Muffler hopefully soon to be in use

Making awsome progress man.

[Converted_to_datsun]

Thanks dude, I sanded down the primer but then somehow pulled something in my back.... Been trying to fix it up well enough for work tomorrow

[RedBanner]

Aahh sbit I hate that. Rest up man. Dont wanna be hunched over at work all day.

[Converted_to_datsun]

Thanks dude, I made it to work and not in too much pain. I plan on painting more this week. I did make a nit of progress tho, I scheduled my new 2" exhaust at a local shop next Friday. I'm super excited to finally have a decent exhaust

[Eagle_Adam]

what shop are you using?

[Converted_to_datsun]

Muffler works in newberg lol you shop is 45 min from me or I woulda looked into it.

[Converted_to_datsun]

Soo pick and pull came and payed me $120 for my old shell with no wheels, nothing under the hood, nothng in he engine bay and basically missin everything. Haha after all the times I've overpayed there I'm happy to be on the other end.

Looks ratty
