Thanks for letting me know, this actually helps so much.

trucks looking good i like the datsun as well keep up the good wrk

Thank u I do love my datsun.....Mazda is on jack stands right now. Swapping trannys for a smooth shift Oh and my brand new crate motor spit the front main out....

Looks good

So not much going n right now with the left hand...just been aquiring parts as the budget allows.....so instead since i am wating for my money tree to bloom again i been spending some time helping hans with the 510 i found for him ... he went from building a driver to spending his unborn daughters college fund building a new datsun....heres the progress i thought i would share ...

heres how it came to me as a buyable car....unfortunately i spent my money on a boat ...





heres what happeneed with in a week of deciding it was more than a daily driver...



heres it epoxied and ready for blocking...





this is after the first block an after deciding once a clock hits double digits in the hour its safe to drink beer...WHAT, it wsas 10 am....anyway i got a little artsy with the guide coat...





ready for wet sanding and color after three blocks....



this is his datsun 521 truck that we started about 6 months and he is having a work friend do the paint work so far we lapped the trucks progress in about two weeks time ...sounds like we will end up finishing it after this 510.... doesnt matter i havent even started the frame fab work after i saw how long the rough out took....i am cuting out frame plates and some other stuff as i havge time




....stoppped and loaded up some firewood as per wifes request whilewating between coats...



and why we call Hans, Jesus ....striking resemblance and i think he actually is starting to think he is jesus...pictured here with his faithful disciple jake....10 years old this year...



the parts he sold his kidney for .....all new coilovers by troy ermish... all new braking system... subaru lsd...new set of wheels same as pic above just 16's instead of the 14s

This car will run the stock l20 2 liter for now with dual sidedrafts but the future will hold a sr20 det for it...dohc turbo charged motor...plan iws a street driver that we can take to the ridge motor sports park and run some laps ...since its right down the street from his house...





all new and ever rubber gasket for the car... not exactly what i would soend a grand on but still cool...





thats what i will spend my 4 day weekend on.... plan is thursday morn at 5 am ....jam the car..... friday morn wet sand out side clean shop and re mask body to the floor and sat paint outside...then sunday wetsand color smooth with 1000grit and re apply color either later that day or monday morn...early...

happy thanksgiving to all... i will post some more pics .. .incase this interesting to any...

i am still on the hunt for a real clean 510 wagon to make a daily driver / track car...got my motor trans sittin here ready....just havent found the right wagon yet... oh andmy wife says i gotta pedde something to make room for anything new...
