Dont need a floor just get two pieces of bar stock weld it from one side of the frame rail to the other and mount ur seat brackets and that way if its not running yet u can flinstone it JK lol

Looks great cant wait to see it all primered up and back together i bet hearing that turbo when u drive up to a show will be a bit of a head turner
i cant wait to actually drive this truck again. u would be surprised how many people used to pull up next to me and rev. idk y a slammed truck makes people think its fast, but now i can boost on em and at least show em i have something lol..

i might be putting a flintstones sticker on the back window for this show if there is no floor in it lol...

We definitely do custom upholstery work. We stock a wide variety of materials like Bride, Recaro, Status, Sparco, etc. We also can do leather, vinyl, suede and carbon fiber vinyl.
sounds like u might want to work on a sponsor deal eh?

good penetration...
^ That's what she said!!!

Anyways.. First off I must say that I'm loving every update of this build thread!

Next, I really liked the flat pink color... but I guess I can dig the flat black look since I rocked it for 2 years on my civic :thumbs up.

Thirdly, You really should chop the top down a few inches, it would look sweet... so you've got my vote on that one!

Lastly, holy s**t.. you really have that entire truck hacked to pieces :shock: ....props that you know what you're doing!!

He did say that!!!

this is how low she will sit now. officially 45" to the top of the roof. im a pretty short guy and thats not even to my chest lol...
The seats could sit low on the floor.. thus providing a little more head room. I say he should go for it.

first, thanks man, i really appreciate it and glad u guys like the truck..

im not gonna chop the top. never liked chop top mazdas, and it doesnt really flow with what i have going on.

i also liked the pink, but it has been on there for awhile and wqs never meant to be on there more than a month or so. it is just a tinted sealer and since i have shaved my tails and s**t and there is bondo and the truck needed to be one solid color i just figured i would flat black it. i personally hate flat black, its sooo played out, but with the short period i have to work with, its what the truck is going to get for now..

and, i really dont know what im doing. this is all new to me. luckily i have some experienced friends that can help me along the way. a doored truck isnt something u see everyday or something that a lot of fabricators will ever build, and there are so many different ways it can be done, so i just make it up as i go and make it work..
but, it will get finished, and it will run again..

LOL, if he chops the roof down any, i dont think he will fit in it unless he's really short!:laugh:
i'm about 5' 6" or so, but i have no plans on chopping the top..

He did say that!!!

i am running super low profile seats as of right now...

no honda seats... everyone does honda seats in their minis...

rx7 seats for this cat. right now i have 1st gen rx7 seats, but wouldnt mind upgrading. guess u will have to wait and see lol..

I always get excited when I see this thread in my User CP :D
well im glad ur enjoying urself...
Man im getting excited and its not even my truck...:mrgreen:
$$$$$$$$$$$

thank ya

We can definitely work something out.
i will get ahold of u when interior time comes...

always like to help others out and especially if i can keep it local, that would be badass. definately woul;dnt have a problem throwing some cash ur way..

x2 wow dude, the update's are SICK. and i can't wait until the whole truck is done :drool:
thanks man. hopefully it will run soon and then i can drive the b***h before final teardown...

so whats the deal with u and jdmprncess? u guyshumpin for real or just e humpin? im confused...lol




anyway, i have gotten a bit more done, but have been super busy with other things also. i have a couple good buddies coming over to help me cut my frame tomorrow so big updates hopefully with a cab back on by the end of the weekend...

i remember wheeling and everyone had 5h gen civic seats in their toyotas, it didnt make too much sense to me, but eh yeah i know what you mean about being played out.

fyi i was "just happened to find these" ;) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2004-mazda-rx-8-seats-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQfitsZModelQ3aRXQ2d8QQhashZitem3cb06088dcQQitemZ260657154268QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories#ht_500wt_1182
they are pretty cheap compared to the rest of ebay... just sayin
I've got a lot more on my plate and to worry about than seats right now, but I really appreciate u guys keeping an eye out for deals...

Thanks man. Go get a datsun er sum'n and drag the s**t out of it!
:shock: no pic, but the price is un-beatable! awesome find man!
If I had the money to spend on seats and if I had a floor in my cab to mount them in then I would be good to go lol
