I hope you didn't have to shell out anything to fix the tub from post #588! You can bet your truck won't do you that way! Just keep after it, life has a way of clearing out the clutter if we'll let it.

3r!c84 · 10-05-2012, 11:43 PM

dont liked to be pushed hard when its cold and not warmed up yet. so not getting on it to hard with out bogging out. but little burnout

little burnout before its off to the body shop -...

3r!c84 · 10-14-2012, 12:30 PM

stopped by the painters the other day. he has been busy with painting the cab of the big truck behind it. but getting done in the next few days. he started looking over the areas that need to be fixed and filled. the dents and stuff. and holes i want filled.

3r!c84 · 10-14-2012, 12:36 PM

the door i got is junk lol like it says on it. found more rust and body filler on that door. so he started to fix my dented in one. needs a little more time on that and it will be perfect. he is pulling the bed off in a few days and start with the cab corners. ordered both a month ago (classicparts.com) and they only sent me one. then call me and say the other is on back order

kinda pissed they didnt inform me when i placed the order.. so the drivers side he is going to try to do with out the patch. just use sheet metal i guess.

truckzilla · 10-26-2012, 11:23 AM

That's a nice color. I used to have a '69 Chrysler New Yorker 2 door back in the day that was almost that very same color!
Keep up the progress!

54Caddy · 10-30-2012, 01:44 AM

oh from what i understand Nissan will not certify you in any spot you dont have ASE's in now. That whole tech thing they got going, for every so many techs in the shop a certain amount have to be certafied with ASE's and Nissan certs for the full level.

3r!c84 · 10-31-2012, 12:15 AM

pretty much yeah. but ase's are really nothing now a days. its just passing a test. no hands on nothing needed. but they are wanting to pay for all of my tests if id like to take them. ive just dont got the time really. dealing with a whole nother field in school really takes your head away from the automotive world. just wanting to stay focused on school thats why i didnt jump at the chance to go to training up in orlando and get my ase's.

anyways ! talked to the painter today the drivers side all the body work is done and primed and body is almost done on the passinger. should see some color in a few days. havnt had time to go over there for some pics. but this weekend ill head over there

really getting excited for this

3r!c84 · 11-01-2012, 07:41 PM

Cab corner finished up

Also got my marker lights in from lmc real happy with them got them shipped to my door 2 days later. Unlike classicparts
