74datsun620 Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 I would love to see more of the roof as the builder most have add material because the post are not slanted to much. I have always thought if you used a KC roof you could keep the proportion better when chopping a 620. Quote Link to comment
209-916 Posted March 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 he actually chopped in 4 sections to make it corner sections lol Quote Link to comment

dat620 Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 i met a guy out here in phoenix at a local carwash, back in 89/90 think his name was frank, had a truck real simular to that one, had the same tail gate welded in and louvered, same body kit,same front grill conversion, only wasn't chopped or v 8 ed, said he was from cali, going to school out here at one of the automotive colleges, i always wondered what happened to it, saw him one other time a few months later at same carwash, he was on his way back to cali, school was out, never saw it or him again... wonder if it is the same one....tom Quote Link to comment
Guest DatsuNoob Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Pretty cool idea, but it looks like it has more filler than a prison meatloaf. Quote Link to comment

209-916 Posted March 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Well, we shall see what happens. I'm not too sure yet completely, so I will keep everyone updated. Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Dude just buy it. I know what it can be bought for [you told me :cool: ] If anything it can be passed onto another Ratsun-er down the road. The current owner clearly ISN'T going to get it road worthy anytime soon.

fisch Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 I am curious about the wheels! I didn't see a clear picture of them. 4-lug conversion, could be interesting, but might just be slots? Quote Link to comment
love_my_gt Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 you can see the top of one of the wheels. It looks to be a set of older center lines. Nothing special, but very period correct for a custom like this one. Quote Link to comment
