This will give you give yoou an opportunity to learn how to paint.

 

I'm assuming that filter will fit on my truck; the filter i have is #1085.

and i dont think im gonna do anything too fancy with paint. Probably just gonna bomb it for now. as i get cash i'll buy new panels and pain them up nice, then do the rest of the truck.

And pics as promised; it doesnt look too bad =P

good deal! Thanks for that bit of info. Definitely gonna write that one in the manual =]

 

It dont look to bad whats up with that head light? I gess you got the parts at a discount?

 

yeah, junkyard parts for now. Work done by Classic Autobody in Red Hook, NY. Highly recommended by me =] They do amazing work. but yeah, that headlight is crusty black on the inside. idk whats up. Just makes it a good time to upgrade =P

Pics from after the tree jumped into the driveway...

 

Yea good time to upgrade is right. Dam you rocked that sob!!! Sucks it bent the frame what did it cost to fix it?

 

about $1200 with the used parts, it woulda been about $2500 with new panels and paint. should have just gone the new route, but im thinkin customization is in order. so just whatever it took to get her back on the road.

 

Yep I would have them put on 2 coats of color and 1 clear that should cover the red decent or try maaco they paint cheep.

 

F*** it. im just gonna pick up some paint code matched green from Advance Auto and bomb it. When i get settled in my new place i'll redo the entire body. replace, fill, weld, whatever it takes. Make her look how she did in December '97 (birthday). But something just so i dont stick out like a sore thumb. . Eventually a billet grille, cowl induction hood, you know what im gettin at =]
