Well, I'll be working for my sister's gas stop, and I should be stationed for the whole summer, lol gas stop, station, durh.


Anyway, supposedly a 20hr trip, I pray my truck arrives, I'll stay at her nice place. I know for sure there are NC and SC guys out here! we need to meet up!


and as for the truck myself..... any preps i need to do?

and you pull it yards!!! I NEED TO VISIT SOME

well, would love to hear from you guys, i'll get back later

 

Im down, depending on where your going to be at, there are some people on here in Columbia SC, but I have not met any. I live near the SC NC state line, Charlotte area.

there are 3 pullaparts around here, winston salem nc, charlotte nc, columbia nc, and one privatly owned pullapart here in my town, rock hill, sc. cheap prices too.

 

I believe my sister's gas station is in Rock Hill

Btw, what gas station do you visit?

Bringing my truck down to SC is higher on my priority list, I just want to do it.
and then meeting a fellow TM member, we can probably cruise or something. (that is if my sister doesn't make me work so much, but more money means maybe more stuff for me )

I haven't been in NC/SC for the past 3-4 years, so I'll need some orientation.

How are the pullapart yard prices?

 

They are pretty good, 30 for body panels, hood, fender, bumper, but 50 for a trans, 100-200 for an engine... little piddly stuff can be cheap too. I got a whole 5speed swap for a maxima for under 100 bucks. I usually just go look for rare stuff, I hardly by anything because im broke a lot of the time. but im going to have a good bit of money soon to put into my truck to get the brakes and suspension all situated.

There are a lot of gas stations in Rock Hill. I usually go to the one near my house on hwy 324 and 322 intersection. bout 5 miles out of city limits.

What are the odds of your sisters gas station being in Rock hill, weird.

 

Well if you get lost and end up in GA hit me up haha

 

ROAD TRIP!!! Maybe a few Ga guy travel up together early on a Saturday, spend all day there. Pre-pick a day that your not workin. Cook out work on trucks, get free gas

 

I'll road trip for sure!

 

I have two hoods. the dented hood on my truck, i'm going to straighten it out, sand her down, do some crazy good paint on it, and have some stickers going on, or just stenciling.
High possibility i'll do the Japanese military flag (16 rays on the rising sun, JPN Navy) and have Toyota Mini's on the hood.

Reversed stencil so it's visible in rear views?
I'll think of something neat.

Will be driving on these. Spraying the other 4 steelies today.


Also, Ironman mudflaps are resprayed and installed!

 

O yea the local confedeates country boys should love ya, with a Jap flag LOL

 

It really isnt like that down here. you see those good ol country boys with the rebal flag and a deer head on there truck with their wife beater and cowboy boots. But other than that this isnt the country part of SC.

You need to ask your sister where that gas station is.

 

One Stop Smart Shop, something like that, I forgot the name of it. It originally was a beatdown Marathon gas station, till we fixed her up. the U-haul truck we used about 5 years ago was a Toyota

 

You truck is definatly a lot nicer than mine, but mine was sitting for like 3 or 4 years before I got it .

Yeah ive been to that gas station.

 

I think half my truck is missing and my "insane" wheel paint jobs are the only reason it looks "okay"


Yeah, I'll be stationed there, do you like it? I haven't been there in FOREVER

 

I am not really around that area really, I usually get gas near my house which is between york and chester really but its still Rock Hill... I mean Im about a mile from it everyday but going strait there then back home I never go that way.

Im ordering shocks, tie rods, ball joints, for my truck next week, so by the time your down here my truck will be rolling. When you heading down?

 

Most likely when school ends, around May I believe (if i don't know when school ends.... WHEN WILL IT?! lol)
Not bad! I'll be glad to see your truck run, I wanna ride in a 70's Hilux anyway, my fave. If there's anything we can wrench on, let's DO IT!

Ahh, understandable, I'll need to know my geographics when I get there.. I have a strong feeling I'll get lost once or twice lol.

 

Rock Hill is one of the easiest places to drive, there are 3 or 4 main roads, dave lyle, cherry road, celanese, and heckle... basically if you get lost keep on driving and youll hit one of these roads, most of them are parallel to eachother, I love how Rock Hill is layed out.

And yup ordering a crap load for this truck this week.

And yeah I wish school would end already, but im going for summer classes too, so only have 20 days off before summer classes begin, enough time to run to the beach or somewhere.
