Project Stanky Red - 1994 Toyota Pickup Restomod

After selling the extra cab, I figured it was a good time to pressure wash the spare frame, boy did it need it. To me it's worth it, I would rather work on something that is clean than to constantly have to wipe my hands before I can take a sip of my nearest beverage.

Ok, ready to see what was underneath the sheet of plywood? Here it is, I was hoping there would be enough metal to patch the holes in my other bed from the notch, but now I am not so sure.

Want to do a quick test shot, added new feature to automatically resize large photos before upload. Here are some pics, starting to run out of room. I need to finish figuring out what I am keeping so I can scrap the rest.

Excited to use these new tools I just picked up, should make life easier. Just fixed a bug affecting portrait oriented photos so had to test that as well.

Making more progress on the engine, the plan is to get Stanky Red road worthy before I tackle the V8 swap. I think that the longer a truck stays in pieces, the less likely it will ever be put back together, or at least I will put it back together.

I always like to give used parts a blast with the pressure washer.

I don't know why, but I didn't even think about bolts I need to mount the 22re to the engine stand.

Turns out the bolt size is m12 x 1.25 thread pitch.

I bought bolts that were to long but I figured, good excuse to design and 3d print some spacers.

Alright worked out well, now the engine is on the stand and I can get this old frame cut up and out of my way.
