@_zzpza Thanks! I am excited about the floor mat, hope it works out like I have planned. The red patch paint brushed on should match the truck. 😂

@@kentuckyyankee Great work and another great video and your mood seems to have improved, which is good, although, strangely I quite enjoy it when you're a bit grumpy and things go wrong!! I also mix old paints together when I have to for certain jobs, and its surprising these days how long old paint can survive.
@kentuckyyankee2 ай бұрын
@gpw203 I don't like being grumpy. 😂😂 This was fun, and there is no telling how old that paint was. I bet some of it was over 20 years old, believe it or not.

Those inner fenders should also get painted with that black paint your using on both sides of the fender, and the side that it bolts onto. If your going to do things, do it right, which you are doing , and I complimrnt you on what your doing as these trucks last forever, IF, IF you take good care of thrm properly and this is the exact way to take good care of them. My compliments sir, for all that your doing here, your MORE than an excellent person here!

I love this little truck build! Nice job. I put a bottle of goop in my son's car as a preventative measure and it completely gummed up his thermostat. Had to replace it.

The parking mechanism on that wiper motor is pretty fascinating to see. Takes a lot of time to fix all those holes. I didn’t know there was such a thing as implement paint. Makes sense. I can see it takes you back! The floor of the cab came together real nice.

that windshield came out a lot easier than the ones ive pulled on these trucks! where did you find a new windshield?? I havent been able to find any datsun windshields locally for about 6 years. also are you using a JIS screwdriver on those screws? will save you from stripping those out.
@kentuckyyankee2 ай бұрын
@BrokenArrowGarage I'll message you Premiere Auto Glass number for the windshield. I was surprised it was available too. I do have JIS screwdrivers, but I didn't use them this time. 😔
