Tencha looks great. you did an awesome job on the rebuild. One question. the front of your hood is black. Is that painted or some type of protector. I also have a white cruiser and that spot is always dirty/ rock chipped and have been looking for something to put there to protect it.

Thanks ..

It's painted .. I awlays getting the same problem in the HW with the rocks and bugs in this part of the hood .. but I found the black part looks great and make this bug target more easy to clean.

Great looking rig. I got you PM, hope your sisters car was alright. I REALLY wanted to see that rig in person when I was down there last month, but this will suffice until I get back again. Me encanta el barrio de Casco Viejo!!! Parece como New Orleans aqui. Tambien el restaurante Parrillada Martin Fiero, bife de chorizo, chorizo y chimichurri MUY RICO!! Hasta la proxima vez, toma un Balboa para mi!!

Well at the end the car was taken by the insurance Co and they offer some % of the value to buy a new one .. long deal ..

I hate that accident in this time .. but you know .. S happens .. new time will be .. I will do the huge sacrifice to take few Balboas beers in your honor !

Next time we can go to Los Años Locos .. tremendo restaurante de carnes, es de unos Argentinos .. se you dude !

This is a great thread and very cool rig. I love the way the pics show the "evolution" of the truck. When I saw the rollover, I thought, "Now he's done." Nope, chop the top and keep on wheeling. Excellent.

awesome Tapage!

one of the things i admire the most, is your ability to adapt and manufacture your own stuff for your rig.
