Pacific coast Datsun Posted July 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Ok time to update. Ran into a vapor lock issue coming back from Parker & had to be towed home. Since then i installed the fuel pump spacer / insulator & i think its all good now. Been thinking about modding the roof seeing as my back glass is gone...may be a winter (65 degrees nov-april :)... project. Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted September 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Ok the vapor locking issue is gone..i drove it to our SWDP bbq last week there no problem. Halfway back i developed a pinhole leak in 1 of the rad.hoses & by the time i pulled over the head gasket had been comprimised. Steam out of the tailpipe & it barely runs but...the oil & water have not mixed ! Huge TY to Datskaos for towing it to his place & babysitting it till she makes it home. Looks like ive got more work ahead of me when it kools off here [November] :crying: Heres a pic from last weekend... Quote Link to comment

cruznude Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 you know with a little fiberglassing you could modify that shell to look very retro.... A little late on this thread but , yea cover those windows and that shell would look bitchin for my Fontana!!! Quote Link to comment
cruznude Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Ok i spent about an hour on the 620 today & got the cut lines re-marked & got the sawzall & jigsaw out & got the roof removed! I used the big saw to go through the double walled sections & the little one to rip the rest. The open areas next to the seats will have filler plates welded in [already made] & the same thing on the windshield area.... this is where the seat belts will be anchored. Ill cut a hole & weld in a nut & maybe a brace inside the body... the old roof...Mike the sunroff will be returned to you @ Reso the new roof set in place. I still need to trim the ends so it'll sit flush. Basically it'll overlap the existing /remaining roof section & brackets will be welded in so the roof can be bolted in place.... I also plan on removing the rain gutters & welding the door frames onto the roof & A pillar. PCD this is all good. Should of been paying attention to the thread before I asked about Pics...Sorry man I'll get me some coffee now... Quote Link to comment

Steroid Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 All Us guys used to get Moon hubcaps and wire them to cover Our differentials. I, personally, have always used long screen door springs, which are cut to size and then stretched around the rearend on each side to keep it in place. Mark can tell You firsthand what a Moon hubcap will do if it comes undone ! ! Makes for a GREAT Youtube video ! ! ! Years later some enterprizing guy with an injection molding system started making covers with "nuts" that resembled real rearend covers. These were somehow chromed and looked pretty cool. If You find an old photo of My blue 1978 kingcab You will see that I used a Morris Minor hubcap that I put 7/16" head sheetmetal screws in. I'll try to post that pic later but now I have to attack a turkey ! ! HAPPY T DAY EVERYONE ! ! ! Quote Link to comment
