congratulations on your new car, may you have lot of good luck and lot and lots of fun building it up.

About the scoupe it is a great idea I have been looking for a scoupe like that to mount on the orginal hood above the turbo, My intensions where to force all the hot air out specially around the turbo cause I have seen it glow in the dark after some heavy driving.

again congrads and may you have the best of luck.

Hey bigMike!  Just take a look at the truck one more time because it will never look like it again.  It looks like it will be the start of a badazz crawler.  I have a crappy picture of a truck with the inner fenderwell cut, not taken out.  It's kinda a far away picture though.  I won't post it unless you want to see it just for kicks.

Monday,

I didn't do to much because its my first day back full time until school starts back up + its the day after the 4th so I took it easy and the shop was pretty quite for the most part, but after work I was able to clean her up a bit and really start checking things out.

I cleaned out all the crap the guys had in the back, and Im proud to say that the first modification done to the truck was removing the :gay: 'Line-A-Bed Ū' liner.

The bedliner was installed with about 50 million riviots. I dont know if their is a tool for this, but it took a while with a chisel and hammer but I got it. Riviots are pretty strong for what their worth.

So now I've got all these holes along the bed that I'll have to poxy up..

Also someone used to have a roll bar installed..

The rust definately needs to be addressed but it is definately controllable.

I planned on removing the bed anyways because I want to see about mounting a long-bed gas tank and cutting out any excess weight. So that will be a good time to spray some Rust Destroyer and then some engine block black paint all over the frame and everything else. The axles and springs have their share of rust and ageing, but they will be replaced with a newer front end 84-85 and a wide rear end 86-95 in the future, so Im not troubled at all about that.

Also, someone went ahead and trimmed the front fenders for me. Im sure I will be doing some more trimming so thats cool

Yeah, :yupyup: there also is a plastic fork, a crayon, and some other misc plastic garbage, all under the liner. I was hopeing to find some lost treasure or even better some gold bars to help with my project but all I could come up with was a rusted screwdriver and an autolite.  :bayer:

I checked around the body and found a couple dingers.

One on the front fender and its hard to see from the picture, but the tailgate is pressed in quite a bit, like someone backed into a MR2 and the MR2 tore the crap outta the Toyota pickup :clap:

So that will be a good time to spray some Rust Destroyer and then some engine block black paint all over the frame and everything else.

Has anyone used the "Rust Destroyer" paint? I bought a can for some rust I created on my MR2 because I didnt spray paint an area I welded, but I never used it. :_oops: I really need to as the rust is still spreading on my baby :nerv:

But the can was like 6 or 7 bucks and it will take a bunch of cans to paint everything on the truck.
The can says that it is a "Patented Rust Converting Primer" that is just sprayed directly over rust and converts it into primer. Then I would just paint some black over the top of that and I would be done...

So Im just wondering if you guys just paint basic engine enamel paint over rust without any problems? I could take some sand paper to the major flat areas but I'll never be able to clean all the nicks and crannies...

Anyone? :help:

Lil'swamp, you will want a 84-85 axle because its a bit beafier. I will be trading the axle along with some extra cash to Marlin for an 84-85 front end. I could sell it to you if you really want it, its no real difference to me just as long as I can afford to buy a complete 84-85 axle from Marlin.

Quote
Oh man I cant wait till you have this thing done :hyper: How long do you think it will take?

Here are my goals, and I use this to keep me motivated and moving and provides me a target date to get things accomplished:
By July 26th: I want to have the engine and drivetrain installed with at least a rear driveline, and get the truck inspected and passed the smog ref as a 95' T100 spec. I don't want to do anything else to the truck until I get this done. I think this is the very basic and most important thing for me to do right now and I should hold all other projects until I get this done.

Sometime in August: I will drive the truck around with it all 100% stock except for the engine/drivetrain, and while im getting the engine setteled in, I will be preparing both front and rear ends with (hopefully $$$) toy e-locks + 4.88 + shaved drain plugs/clearanced diffs. I want to use the IFS rotors and brake parts to 1) upgrade to vented rotors and 2) I wont have to buy wheel spacers since the IFS-setup spaces it out about 1.75" on each side.

Late August: Hopefully I will finally be starting to work on the truck by this time. I will tear it all down and get the springs installed and the axles. Then I'll get to play with fender clearance issues and everything else. But I hope to do all this all in one shot. Axles, Springs, HySteer, etc. The Crawler will be installed when I do the engine and trans hopefully in a couple of weeks from today, so I think I will be really ready to do some wheeling except for some body armor.

Oh oooooo!! oooooo!!

Since I won't be ready for wheels and tires for at least one full month, I have not bought the 35" Procomp tires yet. Actually Rocky is holding them for me until I get the money for 'em. But... BUT!! I may have come across a sweet deal on some 50% used 37" Goodyear MTRs!! SWEEEEEEAT!!!

So what do you think? Should I stick with the 35" tires or just go all out and start with some 37s? A couple delimas is that 1) I want to maintain decent gas mileage since I will be driving this truck alot, so I want to run the 4.88 diffs because the 3RZ will have enough power for it, but with the 37s I can run 5.29 diffs and still be ok. But, 2) If I go with 5.29 then probabely after the 37s wear out, I will only be able to afford some new 35s.. So because Im basically living off of some great deals I dont know if I should stick 4.88s in or 5.29s.. hmmmm decisions decisions decisions  :headscratch:

Mike Go with the 37 and tell rock To call Sal and give him the 35's :greengrin:.

Just kidding, I think if you know you will eventually be sticking to 35's just go for them now or else you will get used to the 37 and be pissed when you cant get more.

I dont know if you remember me, but at the Rubithon me, you, tim, and deans little brother were shooting the breeze about stolen cars eating Tri-tip.  We talked about you starting this project and it is good to see you starting this.  Cant wait till next year, mine will be done to and we wont have to drive our dads rigs through the rubicon

Yeah I really think with that motor, gears won't be an issue.  I'm running 4.37s with 35s and carb.  My efi in the runner has so much more power-that's why I want to have both running efi.  Even with the carb, it doesn't do to bad.  It's no hill machine on the hiway, but it will do 70 just fine.  Wheels like crazy with the dual cases too.

For the rust conversion to primer use "one-step".  It is a product from a company called rustmort.  In autobody shop at school we put it on a rusty fender and put the fender on the roof of the shop.  So it went through a years worth of weather, and there is no rust to speak of showing back up.  Now it's on it's third year and still no rust.  My shop teacher swears by it and reccomends nothing else but that.  I used it on my s*ittybuilt rear bumper, and then sprayed rustoleum over it, and it's awesome.  Tough too, I've slammed my bumper into trees and it doesn't affect the paint. :twocents:

POR15 is the ultimate rust stopper.  Neutralizes rust.  Paint over rust and forget about it.
