decided to go the rat rod direction. I painted the truck flat black, put some garden equipment front lip on it. Tried to crank the torsion bars but one side is locked up, so I was only able to get it an inch or so lower. The only reason its not lower is that I ran out of acetylene lol. I have a set of old cop car steelies that im going to flip for a phat ass lip. Some white walls and hopefully chrome vanity rims and a nice exhaust.

But here it is so far!

Looks good! If you like the ratrod look, you'll like the wheels that I just painted.

 

Lets see some pics!

 

hey stranger

 

Hola!

 

Here ya go, they're early 80's hilux wheels.

 

welcome to tm!

 

I'm not understanding the VW thing.

 

Don't forget the A pillar spotlight to really set off the theme. Keep them pics comin.

 

Sorry dude, you just ruined a nice TOYOTA.

 

careful...


you really dont want me to start looking at your ebay truck...

 

yo yo yo!!! Nice to see you on here

 

no no no, you dont understand. The truck has THE worst bodywork i've ever seen on it when I bought it. The whole driver side quarter behind the wheel is bondo tape... no metal. The fenders are the same, and the rockers, and the tailgate. I understand its not: low or pretty or has nice wheels. But that will change. I'm getting new fenders and im going to repair the quarter panel the right way and im going to custom make rockers for it. It's far from done. I work at a bodyshop and im going to make it nice. Have faith lol. It's going to be a nice black and really low. Dont worry, dont cry... I hate to see people cry

 

oh man! I love em! I wish I could find a set of those
