Roadracer Al Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 There's gotta be an Army/Navy surplus place somewhere near you. I figured every medium-sized town has one. Just go see what you can find. Another cool idea (and useful) is to make a toneau cover grid for the bed out of that OD nylon flat webstrap that you see the Air Force use to secure loads. I'll see if I can find a picture.... hang on... googling. YES! My google-fu is strong. Quote Link to comment

TrevDaddy Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 "About 2 months ago, there was a featured car in one of the hot rod rags, sorry, don't remember the title, that was all done up in a period WWII aviation theme. It used actual bomber seats (basically folded up sheet aluminum), a whole butt-load of functional vintage airplane gauges (including a pitot tube airspeed indicator, which is IMHO, insanely cool) and tons of details I don't recall. The finish was bare brushed steel, it was badaz." You mean this Mazda? I win! http://www.minitruckinweb.com/features/mazda/0601mt_custom_1990_mazda_b2200/index.html SICK. If you get anywhere near this I'll be impressed. It'll take a lot of time, creativity and patience though. Quote Link to comment

fisch Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 he sold it! I had some more pics with both sides done but Im not sure where they went :( Looked freakin cool Skib. So close! You know, you do have a goon now! Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Looked freakin cool Skib. So close! You know, you do have a goon now! :mellow::blink::eek::D:fu: thats right I do! maybe we can do a little modification from a fighter to a bomber ;) Quote Link to comment
Roadracer Al Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 You mean this Mazda? I win! No, the one I am thinking of was on a '30's roadster with a very short pickup bed. But the Mazda is pretty nice. Quote Link to comment
kaoss Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Sweet project. Plane Jane (the Mazda pictured) was what first came to mind. That truck has been done for more than 5 years now, saw it in person at a show and the level of detail is amazing on it. Quote Link to comment
77 rustrat Posted December 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 alright well im am going to try and clear out a place for the dat this week and get it in the shop and start fixing the rust and pulling unneeded stuff off. i also googled artillary shells and found the one i am going to use as an overflow tank. i was also thinking about getting a few extra to mount in the bed to act like there being transported but not sure how to make it look right without being gaudy. i know one can be used as an airtank for some airhorns but it would be nise to figure out uses for two more then i would just mount the three of them in the bed maybe on a crate strapped down or something. but definately digging the cargo net for a toneu cover dilio. would artillary shells look to gaudy as bumperettes. anyways thats my update tell me what you think.

pharouh Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 OK First excuse me for posting a non-Datsun picture,but this is too cool. This is a model I saw somewhere,and it's along the same theme. It is a truck,though. Quote Link to comment

LAYEDOUTB2K Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 You mean this Mazda? I win! Lol, that's what I came into here to post for the interior and then I scrolled down and Bam! That mazda even had bullets shot through the floorboard to add to the theme. Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 dilio. would artillary shells look to gaudy as bumperettes. anyways thats my update tell me what you think. Now you are thinking man. But to we'll have to see it to know if it works. I've seen a few 620s with bumperettes, and thought it looked pretty cool. If it wee a 521, I'd think about using them as bumperguards! Quote Link to comment
