The rusty panda

[izzo]

yeah two strokes don't like to sit and idle. meant for WOT

[Converted_to_datsun]

I've done a little tooling around on the trails at the farm in first and second gear and it seems to do ok. This is my first two stroke ever so I'm still not sure what it likes, but I do know it dominates on the flat

I got inspired on the 3 wheeler today and tightened the chain, adjusted the breaks, adjusted the mixture and idle. Then I took it on a pretty fun ride around the property, doing cookies around trees and climbing small inclines. It was a blast! The black paint on the plastics looks like crap so I'm probably gonna peel it off and bed line it then reliant the tank a nice satin black, got a six pack rack and some old school honda wing emblems coming in the mail.



Love the seat

Been scuffing paint and doing a little work on the truck cab to get it ready for primer. This paint prep is way more time consuming than planed haha

Also got a 6 pack rack for the 3 wheeler and some more riding gear. Got really nice boots and knee guards, also got upper body armor but the size chart was off so it's way too small

Love the rack haha


No more leg injuries

[izzo]

six pack rack! those are awesome man!

[Converted_to_datsun]

Yea dude I love the rack, one of the coolest things I've bought

Got the rest of the cab prepped for primer and masked today, gonna spray it with primer in the morning.

After prepping (before masking)

Do you have a compressor and paint gun?

Scuff all the paint real good before shooting any primer on it so it sticks well. otherwise it peels and chips off rather fast!

[Converted_to_datsun]

Yep I've got a compressor and paint gun. I also spent a few days scuffing every inch with scotch bright. It's ready lol I even did a little body work on the roof and back of the cab

Got primer on the cab today and wet sanding the rest of the day. Then hopefully get some top coat sprayed next weekend. And after that I'll swap cabs and work on the new doors and fenders followed by the bed. Also hopefully getting a new hood cause my old one has rust pin holes along the whole front edge.

All masked up still


Lookin good


Cut off line in the cab


Clean canvas!

[izzo]

Wow! Man. That changed the whole look of it.

[Eagle_Adam]

coming along nicely!!!

[Converted_to_datsun]

Thanks guys! Been wet sanding the last couple days after work. It's taking forever but my goal it to be able to spray it Friday or Saturday

[CameronTT]

Do you have the bucket seats still?

[Converted_to_datsun]

the blue ones? I still have them... but they don't fit a 620 comfortably. i barely had leg room at all with those

[Converted_to_datsun]

Got pain laid down on the cab today! More pics in the daylight tomorrow. I got a couple runs tho I built up the paint on that area so I can wet sand them out in the morning and try to save it. I love the epicness of the color tho haha and the color totally fits because this cab ust to belong to eagle Adam.

Soo beautiful
