hey nuff, i was reading past wanted adds (lownlouds) and seen you needed these. i'm shaving the holes, if you want them their yours. nothing wrong with them other than someone spray painted them silver. just cover shipping. let me know.

 

actually those are painted at the factory. its cheaper then making actuall aluminum vents.


thanks for the offer, but since i posted the wanted i found 2 sets at a yard that i fixed up and resprayed.


working on body work at the moment, got all the pieces i need, now i jus gotta slap everything together.



what i need now, tho im not sure how you would ship it. is about 40hrs of good warm uninterupted daylight to get her done....


im hoping to be back together by memorial day

 

ok, sounds good. its hotter then hell down here right now. and all sunshine...

 

i know most ya'll dont care to much for text, so ill skip the annoying details of sanding, cleaning, taping, painting, bubbling, repeating, blah, blah, blah.



so heres some teaser pics

truck will be semi gloss black by rustoleum with gloss/flat black trim and anything that can be made to bling blinging. im one of those chrome n black paint people. all vehicles should come from the factory like that








model T's were availible in any color you wanted, as long as it was black.

 

damn it! i'm trying as best i can to like my 73 grille, and these pics aren't helping any!

 

why dont you paint yours up, i bet it would look sharp with some kinda 2 tone action. maybe even a 3 tone.


either way from what i hear both are totally interchageable, so you could do up both the same way and switch depending on your mood.


great, now i want a older grill to paint

 

i want that toyota T, know where i can get one???

 

74-78 hilux


thats the only place i know to get one.


kinda hard to find as they come off super easy, ive lost 2 just driving around.

 

anywhere like ebay or anythign would have them? or a mock up?
hey if ur tired of losing urs, ill take it off ur hands =)

 

ever tried painting the whole grille black and leaving the lips of it silver or something?


Hey Sho, when came my bad boy take out your chick for a date?

 

i thought about doing just that (edges of fins in silver).


but the taping would be a serious pita. and prolly take a week. i got a F'd up grill im gonna experiment on so that might happen. also thought of doing the interior of the grill in "mexi-chrome" tape, or a stainless chicken wire behind it.


3 weeks tops and it will be back together. cant wait to see it.


and no dating this hooker, its a pay for play kinda thing


general-

id keep a eye out on ebay fo sho. you might get lucky @ www.toyheadauto.com

 

hey nuff, when the lux getting bags?

 

never...



well maybe some day, but the wagon gets bags n wires before anything else.


you need bags if your gonna get grocerys

 

I think you wasted $100.

You could have bought 4 lap dances with that money.

 

haha i checked ebay, only one came with the toyota next to it like in the TM logo

 

naw, turns out some chick i went to high school with works at the local club. i wish i had spent my money buying a basket case yota, rather then get another dance at that club. ruins the vibe, when shes talking about stupid stuff that happened way back when...



update time

bondo removal complete

bare metal treated with a spray on por15 substance (rustoleum rust converter) on the cab/doors anyway.


i really wish i had a pic of the roof for the before


now working on the surface rust on the new fenders n hood ( i will have during and after pics of this spot)

Idk why I love that truck so much.

whatever happed to the wheels on the very first picture at the gas station? im lookin for some sort of 78 body tuckable 14s or 15s. steelies, mesh, yota 4 spokes, whatever. i see you have tons of stuff.

 

crap


i just sold those on craigslist last weekend for $80 to some guy thats slapping em on a trailer.

i still got a set of stock wheels with no trim, and the keystones, but i want a pretty pennie for em as their vintage.
