izzo Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Anyone at his shop that can continue the work/business? Quote Link to comment
DOnatello Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Wow great work!!! I am curious though about the sandblasting. I want to sandblast my 620 and I have 2 pressure pots and a siphon gun I can use however im worried that I will easily warp the panels. Howdo you guys sandblast your cars? what equipment do you use and how do you keep the heat away? Quote Link to comment
fuzz's '71 510 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Wow great work!!! I am curious though about the sandblasting.

Howdo you guys sandblast your cars? what equipment do you use and how do you keep the heat away? I would try and use soda blasting instead, it leaves a better finish and just washes away when your done. :thumbup: Fuzz Quote Link to comment

blueridgespeed Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 I love the pics (oics) on this thread. It shows many of the steps of the HARD work of good painting. Like many things, you don't really understand it until you do it. The "3 days of sanding" -with no pics - it's true and accurate This level of prep, metalwork, stripping, painting, sanding etc. shows me that there are others out there committed to saving and improving the Datsuns! I have NO doubt that the paint quality, and panel fit exceeds that of the Dat's from the factory. My work goes so much slower, and I can only dream of having a wife that helps! My wife tolerates...periodically...and I think I'm reasonably fortunate. This husb/wife team rock! Quote Link to comment
