Pacific coast Datsun Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Ahh yes bare metal..gotta love it! Hey is that a space heater i see ? :D Quote Link to comment
datsun dreamer Posted February 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Mark, That is a space heater:)...I actualy had 2 going:D. I thought getting to the bare metal would be best Considering I was going to spray the truck a Light green primer:). I will be going to the junkyard this weekend in search of a good driver side front fender:D Mine is kinda dinged and dented:(. Quote Link to comment

datsun dreamer Posted May 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Got some more work done this afternoon:) Took the old grill off and painted the new one along with the emblem and installed on the '74:D Still missing a chrome head light bezel, But overall i think it turned out pretty nice:lol:! My next little project for my '74 will be to put these emblems on the fenders:D I will have to drill to get them on but i think it will be worth it:)!! Quote Link to comment
datsun dreamer Posted May 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Got some more work done today:D! This is for my '73 620:). I had a paint shop mix up some "Pea Green" Primer by trying to match the paint to my door that came with the '73. I think it came out pretty Darn nice myself:) I just wanted to share the color with everybody before I do the whole truck this color:D! Bought a new Spray gun to from Harbor Freight to do the job:cool:..................................................... So what do you Guys think? Not bad for Primer i think:)! I will do the hood and other fender this memorial day weekend:D! Quote Link to comment

Gensaiken Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 its too bad you don't live closer to oregon. There is a blue 620 in a yard with some pretty clean body pieces on it. your truck looks very nice tho. Quote Link to comment
69FJWagon Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 I LOVE that color primer I wanted to do my first 510 that color...and my '73 620...damn hate being broke :mad: Quote Link to comment
datsun dreamer Posted May 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Thanks Guys:) when I bought this truck from Steroid over a year ago I realy wanted to try and keep it the original color, But also have a "rat" feel to it as well:D! So combining the Original color to primer was a little difficult 'cause not many Paint Shops even wanted to try and combine the two. 69FJWagon, I love this color as well and it only cost $27 a Quart:D! I got to go back next week and get me another 3-4 Quarts to do the whole truck! Thanks again guys for the kind words:) I will post more pictures as the painting continues:)! Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Holy cow look at jason painting...! Love it!! Thats a pretty close match too. Quote Link to comment
Phlebmaster Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Looks Good!! Keep it up. :D Quote Link to comment
datrod Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Love the green primer, It's hard to find a paint shop to mix primer. I use a shop in riverside. THE PAINT SOURCE. They will mix anything. Jason just a little tip. When you do the whole truck do one section at a time. Then after put some lacquer thinner in the gun and shoot that on the primer. That will help to make it even. Primer is a bitch to shoot in large sections. Quote Link to comment
datrod Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Also Your not that far from me if you need help send me a PM. Quote Link to comment

moparvwfreak Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 lookin good. oh and if you dont want to drill when putting the emblems on the 74, if you can, shave off the mounting pegs and trim tape them on. Quote Link to comment
