thanks ..guys ..

I think an open mind is best .. I dont have to "use the info suggested" , but I always listen ..

pretty sure I'm goin' RED .. almost a candy red , but it's a base/clear .
I'm going to have a vid cam with me on the inital start up .. so I will post it for you guys !!! ..

Read every post. Great progress. Lots of jealous people watching you build this old B4Runner.

I like red. The redder the better, but kinda partial to the crimson side of red.

We gotta know if it starts first crank and runs. (pressure filled expectations).

The motor says "NO OIL", so don't forget. Hate to see you ruin it...

Good Luck,
Phil

as with everything , it is for sale "for the right price" . At this point and time if someone were to "purchace" they would even have there choice of exterior color , interior color and fabric , even the sterio .. I'm wanting to further expand my business , and limit my "borrowing" amount . so If it sells , the funds will finance some wanted equiptment , to "ramp" up for some VERY cool new pieces .

dont ask , cuz I'm not going to start posting the price I want , If you have to ask you cant afford it !!
