Tristin

Im in the final stages of offering the first of hopefully many Datsun themed t-shirts. To complete the order and commence with production, Id like to get a feel for the general sizing of shirts Im going to need. Please let me know what size youd like to order if you ever decided to pick up a shirt from me. I have the printing company on stand-by and will hopefully have the first design printed by the end of next week. This will help out will all future designs as well :)

Steven Spielberg helping out the victims...

And from what I remember all the flanges were the same...

All flanges were 4 bolt.

Shit I dont remember. Ill have to ask Q. Dont you dare talk this about my automagic! But seriously, that much boso is too much on this car. I like it toned down a bit with this one.

Yeah its not illegal here... but to be honest its not actually on the car. If you look, its only zip-tied :rofl: Boso tips are a little too wild for Minty. It was just laying around the garage and we decided to mock it up and see how ridiculous it looked. Im told they are the same.

Yeah not the best of fixes apparently. Its a 40yr old car, so theres bound to be some problems. Uuuuuuh thats my new boso exhaust. Arent all the kool kids doing it these days?

Hey now... I just walked in the door. I have to drive granny style these days and I stopped at the store on the way home. Anyway, yesterday was semi-successful (though a bit of an ordeal). I wanted to buy the u-joints up by me so I went into Oreilys to pick them up. Turns out they only had one so I would have to make another stop. Turns out all local stores only had one so I ran all over to make sure I had enough to complete the full swap (4pcs)... Then it turns out that they were the wrong u-joints... So we went to the local Oreilys down there and they didnt have any of the right u-joints, but their distro center did which wasnt far. I picked up four new joints and off we went. Come home to disassemble Q-tips spare half-shafts, but all bolts were so rusted that that wasnt going to work. So we took apart mine and did the swap. On the first u-joint removal we found out how not to remove them. As we got the u-joint stuck in the middle of the flange and couldnt get it out. Anyway, finally got it removed and the flange cleaned for the install. I pick up the new u-joints and two of the four are too large by 1mm... Go back to Autozone this time to see if they have any in stock and we get their last two. Got one u-joint in perfect, but the second one we busted the retaining clip lip off. Oops. It was the too much installed to remove it and we bought the last two u-joints so we just left it. Pull the other half-shaft out and removal of all u-joints is way easier this time around. We have the tricks down. Go to install the new u-joints and we were able to hand press one of the caps in :confused: Doesnt seem to spin while installed, but were pretty sure it shouldnt have gone in that easy. We get the car all put back together and it seems to drive fine. And this one just for fun... Turns out I left my wallet at Qs so I went back to pick it up. He met me half way since I couldnt cross the bridge with no cash. On the way all the vibrations came back. I grannied it down there and made it safe. Upon inspection in the parking lot it looks like the u-joint that was hand pressed in is way too loose and is causing all my troubles now. Well that was a bunch of wasted money and effort. Now I have to pick up a second set of half shafts that dont have enlarged or oblong flanges and Im thinking of just having them rebuilt professionally and completely. At least I can still drive around town and get to school as its all lower speeds so its bearable.

Is there?

Hopefully none of the friends and family of any Ratsuners were affected.

Thats cake. There are plenty in Vancouver and even if they dont have a seat for you, all the northender WA guys have to drive through Vancouver to get to Canby. Even if you just got a ride there, we could pick you up.

Where is WA are you? It wont be as fun as bringing your own car, but Im sure someone would give you a ride down there. Theres plenty of us going that Im sure theres a free seat somewhere.

Yessir. Only works with the quarter-turn 68/69 valve covers though... 70 they changed to the threaded cap like the Elephant Oil caps. Installed:

Yep, I have only used rattle can for my jobs and it comes out great if prepped well. Keep it up!

Yeah, the '69 grille looks great. What paint did you use?- any primer?

That grille looks amazing!- very jealous. I have one being refinished right now and I hope it comes out that well.

Looks great. Just get a new oil cap :poke:

Today was quite a day... details tomorrow. Going to bed.

Is this going to be one you flip? Youve got a 68 and a 69 wagon now... Id be in for either if you decide to part with one. Im right up the road if you want to make a deal :D

Sweet Mango!

Interested. I sent you a text.
