Re: "Rice Rocket'
Looks good. So what all do you do besides cleaning/painting and unbending stuff
Was it running?Seems to be a pretty good market for that. My wife used to watch two kids part time and their father bought and sold ATV's and dirt bikes all the time. Mostly found them non-running and fixed them up.

Re: "Rice Rocket'
It was junk! Electrical problems motor semi taken apart shot bearings bent everything, oil leaks etc etc etc. It was rough..
Got a few interested, neighbor tried to buy it but im not 100% done. I got new wiper blades tonite, straightened my wipers (they were crooked). Got 4 cans of baby blue spray paint. Gonna mess with some of that soon. My tach dash needs to sell, I ALMOST started taking it apart.. Really wanna better (no HUGE holes and both doors open) cab..and a 5 lug rear and start putting my trim back on..

Re: "Rice Rocket'
Your truck is looking real good and sounds like it is taking care of you pretty well! It's gonna be real cool to see the truck all one color! There are a few other threads on here that I am keeping up with where guys are using rattle cans and even roll-on paint! I think cheap and do-able is "hot-rod-nature" and cool in my book!
