Fitzpatrick Speed Works Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 I thought I woudl share with you guys some photos of my brothers 510 that myself, my dad and he built. It has one many awards in Australia including grand champion of Summernats (Australia's goodguys car show equivilant). We did nearly all the work in our garage ourselves, if anyone is interested I can post some specs. Cheers Quote Link to comment

tnip Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 WOW... awesome 510. it's very rare for me to like showcars... i love this one. i think it's the fact that you didn't chrome every piece you could see. i love the time and craftsman ship that goes into show cars and often they use very innovative technology and ideas.. but they're alway super chromed, this one is just right. LOVE IT! (second pic is my favorite, sky looks awesome... car looks even more awesome.) anymore underhood, interior and front suspension shots ? i just noticed, as i was drooling over these pics some more, the ride height is pretty damn nice. looks like it has plenty of ground clearance, tucks the big wheels... but still looks low. i guess i can sit here and tell you how great it is all day, i'm sure you know from experience .. hah Quote Link to comment

Icehouse Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 FUCK!:eek: The under side is nicer than the top side of any car I've owned! Wow! How long did it take to build? Do you guys get nervous driving it? Maybe thats the reason for the color :D Orange is my favorite color to :lol: P.S kinda funny seeing it on ratsun :D I'm just glad your in a different country so you can't park it next to mine :D Quote Link to comment

irsa76 Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Awesome cars run in that family. His father is a multiple SummerNats grand champion. I actually live in the same area as this car, and have never seen it in person. Quote Link to comment

damageinc86 Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 That second shot is premo. It deserves to be on a datsun calendar. wow unbelievable. I can't see any shortcoming, absolutely perfect. Quote Link to comment
tiltnose510 Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 That second shot is premo. It deserves to be on a datsun calendar. wow unbelievable. I can't see any shortcoming, absolutely perfect. That was my thought, that, and how inept I feel at building after seeing this...It does inspire me to do better though. Quote Link to comment
Greiggy Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 seen this in person at jamboree year before last... impeccable finish. basically my dream car. i would take this over any exotic... cant fault it. 110% perfect vehicle. Quote Link to comment
DOM Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Now that is some serious craftsmanship. Curious how the tanny comes out ? There are no bolts showing for the trans mount. Is it welded solid or are the bolts hidden under the carpeting? Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 sure looks like the front/rear windshields are glue in now......is that the case?? Quote Link to comment
Fitzpatrick Speed Works Posted December 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 The windows are urethaned in like most modern cars, as the standard molds are bulky and would take away from the smoothed look we were going for. The transmission cross memeber bolts in from the top ie inside the car there are bolts that go down inside the crossmember. Thanks for the nice comments. Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 So how did you do the glue in on the windshields? Did you modify the frame to match? Any pics of the build up on this 510? Oh...and don't think that your avatar is going unnoticed!!!! How about a thread with some pics of that sweety?!! :) Quote Link to comment
phatdave Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 Hey Mike ...show us a picture of YOUR underside?:D Quote Link to comment
pimp1911 Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Any interior shots? That is one nice looking dime. Quote Link to comment
datrod Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 That has to be one of the best cars I've seen in quite awile. I would like to see some pics of that truck you have also. It looks pretty bad ass. Quote Link to comment
