Underdog777's '88 4x4 build

Alrighty then. Took this bitch to the car was today to degrease and wash the under side. The leak isnt as bad as I thought, so I don't feel the need to address that before the sas. There does however seem to be some valve tap going on. I'm hoping that after I make timing adjustments that it will go away. If not I'm gonna pull the cam this guy put in and make sure the lobe is not too big for the valve springs. All i got for now.

 

Good choice going with sas

 

First mod: Duct taped steering wheel.

OP updated with more pictures.

 

Yeah!

 

I'm trying to buy that helmet off my roommate so I can go to meets with it. He's being a little bitch about it.

 

Noisy valves are better than silent ones.. You know you're not burning them out that way

 

lol wear that shit through the dez, it would be so dam funny!

 

Haha that would be funny

 

lmao I know that's what I'm trying to get it for! Pure rompage....with a bright red helmet on!

 

dude i want one now.... i dont really want to smack my head on my cage hah

 

Thought you had seats already? If you have harnesses you wont hit your head

 

I offered him $300 for that helmet CASH right after that picture was taken. And he was all "nah man can't do it"...Eric I feel your soon to be pain...there's no padding inside that bitch. I went to shift in my seat and smacked my head on the door frame.

 

Ok. Update time. After much debate with my army buddies, and them talking some sense into me I have 3 bags full of rattle cans. Gonna start sanding today, and should have it finished (painted) by the end of the weekend. I will NOT be posting pictures until after the AZ meet on the 27th. Why? Mostly cause I can

 

Color? Or is this supposed to be a surprise?

 

It's a surprise

 

Alrighty. After 14 cans of paint, 4 rolls of painters tape, a fat stack of newspapers, and 2-30 packs ode Coors light the 88 is on its final drying stage. The conditions for painting were not favorable, but we did our best. 100+ degrees both days, 5-7 mph winds, in an open dirt lot was what we had to work with. FWIW it looks good. There are some spots of over spray, un even coating, and runs, but since its a dedicated desert truck those things don't matter to me. Oh and I'm sun burnt to hell.

 

Lunch time bump! Cause I walked passed the truck and can smell the sweet sweet rattle can paint!

 

Any word on your leave homo?

 

Negatron faggo. I should find out by either the end of today or tomorrow. And it sucks because I just started a class today on a new piece of equipment, and if I miss too much of the class I get dropped. Got an appointment today, and the pass starts Friday. FML.

 

Shit dude.. I know what you mean abot the classes. Idk man.. the more I think about it, sounds like you might be better off not comin out.. :/ especially if your doin a turn and burn ya know.
