Fast720 Posted January 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Hi The other side , I had to cut a big slice out of the bottom of the air box , For the power steering pump , it has to run on the blower belt , So I had to convert the pulley from a V belt . I machined the V part off the old pulley and welded on the new one . 5 Quote Link to comment

Fast720 Posted January 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Hi everyone Got a little bit of work done , still not feeling great DAM FLU . Making some tire clearance , don't want any rubbing issues later , much easier to fix now !!! Had to make a new pocket for the brake booster , I will finish these inner fenders when the cab comes of , it will be a lot faster & easier to get at both sides . Also had to take a huge slice out of my air box And thanks again for fallowing along and the kind words , it does help with motivation . 5 Quote Link to comment

Fast720 Posted February 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 My little white D21's engine decided to blow the head gasket , so I pulled the head to see what was going on , yup the gasket was bad along with the cam chain sliders etc. Wow I couldn't believe the price of the parts !!! head gskt set and bolts over $300 and the cam chain set complete was over $500 !!! So I used my spare engine , took the best external parts from both and put it in , runs strong . So that used up my time for Blue Thunder this week ........... 4 Quote Link to comment
Dolomite Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 I’ve been away for a good while, glad you decided to stay with the project. It’s nice to see what can be done diy style, like old school hot rodding. 2 Quote Link to comment
Fast720 Posted February 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 Hi Will be working on Blue Thunder for a while , lots of stuff getting in the way as usual . My White D21 is all back together runs awesome , picked up a new to us daily driver for my wife , her 95 MX5 started smoking really bad on start up , I suspect it's the stem seals . Her new ride !!!!! 2012 MX5 with a power roof and all the toys , it came from Kentucky , it was in a lite crash , some assembly required !!!! . 3 Quote Link to comment
Fast720 Posted March 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 Because I use my shop to do other stuff , it 's a pain in the ass to move the truck and jack it up and jack it back down to move it aside , so I came up with this idea , I made three sizes of blocks , so I can use different combinations to suit a height that I need . I have taken a month off to button up this truck , So Stay Tuned In !!!! 6 Quote Link to comment
sebpv Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 might as well secure them together to prevent movement if you ever encounter a rock or crack... 2 Quote Link to comment

Fast720 Posted October 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 Hi everyone !!! It's been too long since I have on line here , I have looked a bunch of times to see what you guys are up too !! I haven't worked on my truck in two years because I started another very cool project ( I know that's really bad considering how close to being done it is ) But I found a place to do this Fiberglass build , you will all be happy it's a Datsun ( well a newer one ) a 2005 Nissan 350Z . I am building a whole new body , I have been at this for 2 years solid , I just started posting from the beginning I got inspired by Matt who built the Vaydor based on the Infinity G35 . Here are a couple of links to my build . The name of the car and build is Falcata the first one is on MY350Z https://my350z.com/forum/exterior-and-interior/624675-falcata-re-body-my-zed.html and the second one is on Mad Mechanics https://www.madmechanics.com/forum/forum/kitcar-discussion-forums/build-diaries/476095-falcata I hope you have a look and let me know what you think , and it will be finished by spring 2021 and then back onto Blue Thunder Cheers Phil 2 Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 Just went through a bunch of the fabrication pictures on the 350.... I'm excited to see the final product... Quote Link to comment
