    Yup, Bondo....I used to be the painter at Nishis in Pearl City. Just curious, do you know how many pieces your uncle cut the fender to graph it into the bed?

    Nice Job! Are you a autobody guy? That thing looks straight! I think i remember you back when you was with nissanminis.com. The background looks familiar

    I was a painter for about 14yrs. With so much pride, I worked a lot of free hours. Start early, finish late. It took a beating on my family so I made a career change. Long story....Anyways....yes, I was a nissan guy until I got my first toyota. Nissanminis.com used to be the largest minitruck forum. Its no longer in existance.

    I have manual windows but if you still want some parts, we could work something out. Maybe do some kind of trade.
    Anybody in Maui got a one piece back glass for extra cab?

    Thanks for the comments. Its a slow work in progress with what little time I have. Almost done with the body work. I just have the tailgate left to do and I think Im gonna fix some dents in the bed. I'll get some updated pics later.

    Painted a civic black whith red pearl 3 stage. Was nice but I didnt like it. looked kinda like dark maroon/brown. Kinda leaning towards black. Trying to keep it simple and probably gonna spray single stage urethane thats why my two choices are solid colors. Maybe I'll spray the stamped toyota on the tailgate white pearl.
