thanks Bro ... met a buddy of yours delivering parts for Lordco the other day ..

 

Yeah, he told me he had delevered some parts to your shop Asked if I needed anything... whatta jerk!

 

wish mine looked that new and clean!...and wish i had the cash right now to order some new fiberglass 1/4's!

 

what would possess someone to go threw all that on something that far gone? some kind of sentimental attachment???

 

Well it would be kind of silly to do it to a brand new one don't you think?? IDK, I guess some people buy cars to drive and others buy them for the adventure. I am guessing most of us here are in that latter group.

 

I think ... if you have to ask , you'll just never get it! just look at the pics and enjoy

But it is feasible. Flight down was about $400 to Dallas, $2900 for the truck, about $200 in gas to get it back and a new windshield for the safety (cracked on the way home, big rock). I have had it for almost 2 years now and there is still no rust on it. Under oiled the hell out of it right away and drive it year round. I wouldn't hesitate to do it again for another vehicle. Maybe I was lucky , I had a friend that was willing to come and meet me with a car dolly if needed. Even if that happened I would still have made the right decision. It really was that easy.

 

Awesome work slacker. I understand why you are needing a bigger shop. Word travels fast when you do nice work like that!

 

i started to re-do an 88 chevy full size blazer one time that was rusty but dident look that bad on the outside and so meany things showed up that i dident expect that i eventualy cut the whle middle section on and re welded the very rear of the truck to just behind the doors. floor had rotted out and the body mounts came up threw the floor rusty suspention parts. metal fuel lines rusted threw and the list goes on and on after beating it offroad for a while i parted it out and scraped it, anymore id be scared to start somthing that looked like that. the results are amazing however. id just hate to thing of the rust problems that are going to show up in other spots that you have not yet worked on. untill every last pice has been replaced

 

Oh, for the love of...

It's "through", not "threw". If it's rusting through, you might fix it if you threw a ton of money at it.

Get the difference?

 

its not english class

 

having a truck you have mantained for 100-200 thoursand kms is almost priceless compared to buying a used truck that who knows what the p.o did to it....

i tend to never sell my toyota trucks i drive them or use the parts off them... i keep them clean and mostly just surface rust...

slacker keep up the good work.
and owning your own buisness is something to be very proud of not to mention the high quality of your work....

if i had half the knowledge you have i would love to save toyota trucks for aliving...
these trucks arnt gonna be rust free and on every block for ever!

 

where is the best place to get fiberglass?

 

 

the helmet that you needed before the damange

 

yeah .. I think you got real lucky .. I have heard so many HORROR stories , it would fry your pumpkin.
