Pacific coast Datsun Posted September 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Nis720- If you bring the cowl to JCCS i can shave it the following week. Tom- good guess :D I went with the same color my 320 had on the roof. It's very close to the factory Datsun color "island turquoise" used on the 521's... I love the looks my neigbhors give me when i paint outside...:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment

Pacific coast Datsun Posted September 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Yeah Dave most likely ill have it all that color 1 day. I wouldnt mind a 2 tone either with a simple graphic between the 2 colors. Hell, it only took 4 years to get some color on a few parts :lol: Quote Link to comment

Charlie69 Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Where did you get that front license plate frame? I bought my 1999 Frontier at Smith Mesa Nissan, formerly Smith Mesa Datsun. Oh great plate. Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted September 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Charlie- i won the frame on E-bay a few months ago. Took some steel wool & paint remover to it :D Small world that you bought a truck from the same dealership. Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted October 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 The latest pic of the 620 as of last Sat. is here. I wet sanded the entire truck & shot some high build primer for a color change mostly. Good news- i found all the dings. Bad news- theres alot ;) Quote Link to comment
VoidDragon Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 (edited) Sorry this is like 10 years late, but I just joined and read the entire thread. Love the truck. Love convertible tops. Wish i lived in SoCal so i could do the same thing. I was intrigued bye your attempt at the Chain linked suspension and I came up with a couple ideas. I only drew up one illustration tho, cuz I sucks at MSPaint. Assuming you even wanna screw with it any more, if not, just food for thought. Edited October 7, 2009 by VoidDragon missspellings gah.

lowdatsun620 Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Dude, you got a very clean truck, PCD. I've been hooked to your thread for a couple hours now, read ALMOST all of it :P Will definitely have questions for you as I get into the bodywork stages of my build. Keep up the good work!

Pacific coast Datsun Posted January 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Thanks for the props guys. Got back to a few small things that have been put off. The main thing is im swapping in a new radiator, a huge TY to Gman for donating to the cause. In the process of making tabs that will bolt to the core suport. Also removing, cleaning & painting most of the small parts. I went with a candy blue.......... & Fontana 620 donated some chrome radiator hoses a few months back, hoping to get those installed tomorrow. Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted January 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Did'nt get too much done today other than install the radiator w/ new upper hose & all the parts w/ fresh paint.......... Quote Link to comment
J.C_620 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 love your build but i would recomend not driving this truck with the lower hose removed:hyper: Quote Link to comment
slam_dat_sun Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 That is HOTT, are you still coming to our swap meet? Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted January 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 I ended up using the stock lower hose. The chrome collar was hitting the frame & would'nt fit all the way over the outlet. Slam yeah ill be @ the PHX swap but not in the 620. Quote Link to comment
slam_dat_sun Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 That is cool, I would like to meet you and some day me and my wife will cruise to cali and meet your Datsun :D Quote Link to comment
