its been a long road but im glad to finally be seeing light at the end of the tunnel

i finally have some video editing software again so while yes this was recorded a while ago here is the video for the front suspension swap

i have the guards to go on there just havnt installed them yet

well things have been happening first i knew i had a car show coming up where i would be working a booth for my boss which gave me the excuse to enter the 610 so i threw a tow hook on the front to make winching on the trailer easier then after a fiasco of a night getting the car loaded up after work off we went i gotta say this is one of my favorite pictures i have taken in a long time even the people putting on the show said that i def showed up in style towing this thing behind my blazer my little brother snagged a few pictures while i was workin and i was genuinely shocked when they announced I was first place for the under construction class over all a good day but it was brought down when one of my co workers pointed out some body filler cracking not bad but now i have to correct that

had a lot i had to do on my last days off but i did manage to get some wrench time in got the stainless around the tail lights reattached after modifying come modern plastic retainer clips to hold it in place and after fixing the center garnish panel we now have tail lights once again as well as all the side markers back in it so with the acception of no brakes its technically legal

sort of the stuff i used was blue magic headlight restore but yes it is simply polish meant for modern plastic headlights on a microfiber and hand polishing granted mine really didnt need a ton

just headlight polish and a microfiber towel with some elbow grease you could go a step further with a dremel and a tiny polishing wheel but i didnt need to go that far

it has a build thread on here as well in the non datsun project section

spent some time reworking the tail light center section on michelle and fixing project foxes carb issues as well as some other work on a few of the other rigs but that afforded an opportunity

spent some time reworking the tail light center section and fixing the toyotas carb issues as well as some other work on a few of the other rigs but that afforded an opportunity

this shot belongs here as well

spent some time tonight burning the midnight oil tonight after a long day of appointments and chores and cleaned up the tail light housings polished the lenses made some new gaskets and finally got to mock up

see all i think when i see this is why didnt i put a slip joint in the exhaust lol the datsun irs isnt super sophisticated but its a decent set up yes that is my dads 68 firebird he started working on it shortly before he died and now im just waiting for my mom to bank roll that project

spent the last 2 days doing nothing but rear suspension work dropped the crossmember and slotted it with all the adjust ability the front now has i couldnt ignore the rear i also raised the rear 3 turns on the coilovers and it sits way better now wheel fitment is a little better then before and i no longer have the spacer in the mix and it toe is way happier it needs a real alignment but im happy with the progress now i just gotta figure out some starting point aligment specs

rolled the car out to get pics of the grille in the daylight man i cant wait till all the trim is done
