Smiley720 Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 I was bored while I was shaving the cowl for the 720 and had Ratsun on the brain. I figured this could be useful for someone. Add Beer, and repeat for the other side Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Good how to ! Ive done 2 620 & 1 HB cowl the same way. If i can add just 1 detail. I like to add a generous coat of seam sealer on the underside of the filler panel followed by a few coats of primer/paint. Another thing i like to do is clamp the cowl to the bench to eliminate the chanch of warpage. It's a clean look once completed..thumbs up ! Quote Link to comment
Smiley720 Posted December 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 thank you PCD. the beer intermissions is how i keep the warpage to a minimum, low heat+cold beer=smooth cowl Quote Link to comment

Smiley720 Posted December 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 this isn't a daily driver, why do I need a heater? Oh and Slam, come on with it. Tell the UPS guy that when he drops it off to just wait so I can send it back same day, "return to sender." this didnt take anytime at all. Send it to me if you want. Quote Link to comment
