82 clean up/ build/ paint

82odyota · 08-27-2009, 09:24 AM

I started off buying this truck before my deployment to Afghanistan had it three weeks then had to leave i had no time to make it mine. However now i am home and have great resources to get this thing going.

As you can see this truck was rattle canned and the undercoat wasn't something to brag about.

as far as i know it is an original radio/ cassette player and it does work. Thought about putting in a cd player but i think i am going to leave it all original and keep it looking clean. Only gauge that does not work is the temp gauge in the dash i need to play with it more and try to get it to work until then i have a external down by the shifter.

slacker · 08-27-2009, 05:05 PM

very nice ... keep it up!

TurnerR · 08-27-2009, 06:09 PM

I saw the first pic and was like, gee what a rebuild. Then I saw all the hard work and realized how much you are doing. Two thumbs way up! I'm lovin the orange!

2DoorRunner · 08-27-2009, 06:17 PM

82odyota · 08-27-2009, 09:30 PM

i am in the national guard in illinois part of an infantry company 2/130 INF. just the usual weekend warrior things katrina, overseas training and OEF is my story

82odyota · 08-27-2009, 09:47 PM

so today we spray most of the under the hood parts still need to do valve cover p/s cooler, and fan shroud.

Then i put them back in under the hood and started hooking other hoses and misc things up. Still will be a little bit before things are all back together under there and ready to go but have a good jump on it so far.

then i had some time left over so i finished out my radiator support flat black in front and undercoated with 08881 on back side

also started stripping the doors so we will have something else to fix while paint dries or we are redoing the dash and cleaning it up.

well i have to work night through the weekend so progress willl be a little slower only in father in laws spare time fora few days. hope to have trim out done on doors and roof primed soon. then on to cowl. after that who knows doors/fenders/hood/dash.....then i will be finding a bench to put in it for the little man and wife to be able to ride with me.

if anyone has suggestions or ideas.. throw them at me i will consider any ideas...

slisdexia · 09-04-2009, 05:46 PM

I'm anxious to see what it'll look like when you're done. It's obvious you are doing things right.
BTW, that orange looks awesome

toylocost · 09-04-2009, 05:57 PM

This is mini truck status. I would expect to see this on a bagged truck but this is different. Subscribed.

82odyota · 09-04-2009, 07:55 PM

you don't have to bag a truck to make it look nice

i am working on more pictures of thing did some roof work and the other door frame should be in primer as soon as the cowl area is ready. Long last 10 days workin 3 off one then on 4 so i will try to update as i get little by little done hopefully next week will bring more progress mon-fri ...also any suggestions with fenders should i cut and roll the orignal 82 fenders or will like a set of 85's fit just need to get them higher for tire clearance. thanks for all the comments. wasn't sure if i should have went ahead with this project but i wanted one when iwas 15 so i figured why the hell not

phildelfino · 09-04-2009, 08:32 PM

hellfire · 09-05-2009, 12:36 AM

82odyota · 09-07-2009, 05:18 PM

it is for an air horn plan to upgrade to be able to fill re bumper for tire inflation/holding tank. arb one day also up front rear is locked just don't know how yet have to tear into it. pics tomorrow i promise this time

seanmearse · 09-07-2009, 07:06 PM

Wow! I need to pay more attention. I think I was just lost in the paint color, nice.

82odyota · 09-09-2009, 04:35 PM

we have started stripping the doors down the bare metal

started to get a couple body lines back in the cowl area

the roof is now primed and being blocked for reprime

started with a skim coat of glaze/filler

fan shroud is primed and ready for color

then started some misc parts ...cleaning sand blasting priming and almost ready for paint. very few pieces left before cowl to grill is done with work and needs reassembled.

radiator half way in color

progress has slowed but will pick back up some more supplies are coming tomorrow so we can get back on the long block and get the roof done and some color shot on it. We will then finish the cowl and door jam so that we can prime and shoot color on them also. Long process and time consuming but doing it right means not being done quickly. Next pics hope to have some color in them and more primer too .
