Sems satin black

I asked around and this is what the local pros recommended. I have to say, the parts look great and am very pleased so far. Before I give it a 5 star review, I’ll let the parts dry for a couple days. The real test will be if it flakes or peels.

Retro fitting 80 sliders?

I’d like sliders on the 55 and these just fell into my lap. They will need to be shortened like the frame, but it’s looking like they might work out after being chopped up.

nice work on painting the plastics. I have been wondering if the same is possible with my Tan 75 series dash..

Sty-lin!

WOW . Nice.

 

[scrapdaddy]

They really turned out nice. Good Job!

Looks killer!

Very good looking job you did there! on everything.

I bet it would blow some of the minds of the guys that built that pig years ago to see what you have done. As well as some of the guys that designed the modern stuff. Very nice, Ive always wished toyota would do the crate motors like us automakers, but then it wouldnt be as special when someone does something great like you have done. Very cool flying pig you have there

Springs, round three. Hopefully these will be “just right”.

Thanks Marcus!

What you hoping to fix?

What you hoping to fix?

The current ride height is perfect and it handles nice with no gear or passengers, but is “too soft” when loaded.

too soft” when loaded

Common problem after a certain age...
