finally got off my ass and started working on the truck

ok after getting my truck back from a shop that did some work on it and hacked some shit up, i finally got off my ass today and got to work on it, after 3 months.with some help from my good friend dennis, we re installed the engine driven compressor, the right way, and also ripped out the rear axles and are rebuilding them since somehow the right rear axle mysteriously bent when my truck was sitting in there shop for 3 months??
i tried to also get a shot of the new primer job but the camera died before i did, you can get somewhat of an idea in some of the shots, but here they are, enjoy and i will keep posting as i get more done to her, goal to have her back on the road is for lowrollers then after the season ends, up for sale she goes now the pictures are rough, shes still dirty and have some final ends to tie up but you get the idea of what im trying to show you

picture of the engine driven and the wheel tubs put in fronts and rears



pic of one of the axles out of the truck



pic of the rear tubs, you can kind of see the new primer scheme



side shot of the engine driven

too bad about the damage,
nice job on the compressor mount, what are the specs on that, duty? volume/time?
likin the two tone!
Is that the pacesetter header?

if i could tell you about all the times this truck got screwed up i would be here all day, the only good thing about it now is taht whoever buys it will pretty much get a brand new truck, all ready to show just needs paint, theres not one thing on that truck that hasnt been re done now and re done the RIGHT way

yes thats a pacesetter header, as far as i know thats the only one available for the mazda trucks

as for the compressor it is a stock ac compressor, brand new not re furbed from vauto zone, i dont really know the specs to be honest with you but it fills an 8 gallon tank from 0-150 psi in a little over a minute

that plastic line running to the oiler is real close to the headers no? ... from the pic is looks REAL close, will that not melt?




and you need brake fluid

the lines not as close as it looks in the picture, its safe and wont melt, and i was waiting for a smart ass to tell me about the brake fluid lol, its low becuase the axles are out, it lost some fluid when i had to disconnect the brake lines haha
