project "ginger" 88 b2200 bagged and bodied update 11/8/13

Love the wheel wells Mikey. When your done I can buy you a ticket to Reno and you can come help me do mine
I will have to see the wheels under the fenders and rollin dumped on the road before I can give my opinion on them. How is your engine build coming along?

im not really in love with the wheels, they are just some borrowed wheels from a friend so i could get the 5lug done. im gonna buy some when tax time rolls around. hey man if it means you keeping the truck, then ill help you with the wheel wells...lol

ok so on to todays work. got the engine in and the paint wet sanded and hand buffed. i found more spots wrong with it than i would like but its gonna have to do.

I think with the whole truck sprayed, and 2wd metal those wheels would look damn sharp on there.

or send those wheels my way next year and I'll paint mine red and show you... Is the bolt pattern 5 x 100, or 5 x 114.3? I need to know so I can drill my hubs to fit them? but really I am curious what bolt pattern you used.

That bay looks way clean for how you went about tubbing it. I notice a hair of primer showing in the tranny tunnel, I'd say mask it and under coat it. I have used a brake cleaner spray tip and straw before to get into tight spots with out making a horrible mess.

On a side note: I'm really saddened that I have to wait till spring to see your truck painted

i went with the 5 x 114.3 pattern that the toyotas run. the reason for not painting the outside yet is i want to get my new wheels and then see if the 2wd metal fits. and also i wanna give that suicide door shit a 2nd go. yeah there are a few spots i missed and i planned on doing some undercoating when i do the inside of the wheel wells.

ahh I see then, best of luck the 2nd time around

suicide door shit huh? good luck with that! don't forget to brace the inside of the door. its not meant to hang from the rear.

DAMN! I love it Mikey! You really thinking about 2WD metal again? Well keep it up and remember nobody likes a saggy pair........of doors I mean. -Ed

hey mikey lets talk about the metal.... i want to go 4wd for a bit....

how is your bed floor? you know im 4wd rich bitch, i got 2 beds and 4 fenders.....lol

its rhino lined.... and theres a few dents and dings here and there on the bed and fenders.....
