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 .

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 .

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 ...........

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 !!!! .

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 !!!!

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
