datsunfreak Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Do you know the paint code? Trying to figure out if it's the same color as my '68 wagon... Quote Link to comment

freetheoranges Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Bought a [Edit: O'Reilly's] $40 battery charger [6amp// 3amp maintaining] because after cranking for a minute my battery refused to power the starter. Usually it's like 30 seconds alternately tapping the brake and gas pedal for ignition, as of, like, the last month to now. Quote Link to comment
edekalil Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Finaly got it to run and pull it out for a ride. Had to fix the cudas fuel pump to get it working again it was blocking everything. So far so good. Quote Link to comment
shacks510 Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 The joy, the joy... Put the fresh air vents back in. Scraped off all the old foam for the duct to seal on the cowling, and used silicone caulking to seal them (no leaks hopefully). Also made new foam flap seals so everything's nice and tight. Actually feels like AC at freeway speed even in 80 degree weather. Air doesn't do much at street speed; ~45. I drive with the windows down on the street anyway. I need to put some type of screen somewhere so debris doesn't fly in. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 I need to put some type of screen somewhere so debris doesn't fly in. If you currently have all the debris out, you can remove the wiper cowl panel and attach some window screen mesh to the back side of it? I've done this on a few 510s and it definitely keeps the leaves and debris out. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
edekalil Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Took it for a ride to a friends house. Quote Link to comment

I thought about landscape fabric too since I have some. It's black and tighter woven, but it'll still breathe. Interesting wheel you gotIt's the Momo that's been in there for 20 years. I made the wood ring in woodshop last year. Looked tits when it was done, but cracked the first day it was in the hot car. Wood shrunk and cracked. I need to get a new one. This scares me a little under hard turning. Quote Link to comment

edekalil Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Drove the 72/510 to the coffee shop this morning. Digging the ride. 1 Quote Link to comment
edekalil Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Back at the building. Filled it with gas and plan to drive it about 50 miles round trip. going to see a friend down the way. Had to spend $300. To get the Cuda working now getting a starter put on so that it should not be an issue to put it out so I can get the 510's out and run them all more often. Quote Link to comment
