burrito213 Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 next stop, interior correct? and @azhitman - when you fully restore your NL320, maybe leave the same color patern..one, it looks cool and two, everyone already knows who that 320 belongs to... feels like a NL320 ressurection revolution going on.!

wayno Posted October 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 This is the picture(from mikes thread) that I used to create my hood, not my idea, but I liked it. I did not like the grill, way to much chrome, it's just to big, in my opinion. But this truck looks unfinished, with all the trim pieces, including hubcaps it quite possibly could balance it out. I have another hood and am looking for another cool scoop to put on it. wayno Quote Link to comment
Pumpkn210 Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 You can never have too many hood scoops! Quote Link to comment
78kingcab Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 ya the hood looks sweet.... Quote Link to comment
burrito213 Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 im tellin' yah, ...all i got to do is get two hoods ( nl320/roadster) hood and i will pay to get it welded and hopefully i could have one too. are you keeping the rims stock? Quote Link to comment
burrito213 Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Wayno....saw this not too long ago and thought "hey, i know someone who has the same color pattern... though its not a datto, im sure it has relevance at least for the interior & pinstriping. Quote Link to comment

Yes, the rims are staying stock looking. Thanks for the interior oic. I just can't decide what color the interior will be, all black goes with most colors, except the truck has a red dash, red would work, especially with the red dash, but red fades fast. I also have thought about tan.:unsure: I have never had to decide the interior before. :confused: There is more to just welding the scoop on the hood, you have to grind the spot welds smooth, and then bondo it in, then you have to paint it, or the whole truck? Thats why I had it painted all at the same time, so it would match. It's expensive, unless you find a unemployed artist, but you have to live with the artists timeline and excuses, and hopefully you have a good dental plan for all the teeth grinding/stress that the artists timeline causes.:lol: As far as I can tell, it takes twice as long as they say it's going to take(1969 datsun 521 kingcab) to do a really good job, or a week or two over to get a fair job done, at a really good price. wayno Quote Link to comment

wayno Posted October 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Hi there Ratsun folk, I sent my bench seat, door panels and kick panel(only had one) off with ratdat3 to be done, he is also going to look into the headliner also, guess I am going to have to look into fixing the floorpan now, it isn't to bad, i'll see about posting some Oics. tomarrow, I am hoping that melvins floorpan pieces that were cut out for parts will blend to the point where you can't tell I welded in another piece. I am also going to have to look into door rubber, when I pulled the seat the drivers side floorboards were wet, not good. Can you get the door rubber anymore? wayno Quote Link to comment
