The Dat-side Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Looking good. Engine looks sweet. Can't wait to see the bay, I wish I had the time and room to yank the engine cause I felt like cleaning up the bay. Enjoying the new shop I take it? Quote Link to comment

CharlieBucket Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Nice work man, i just saw this one for the first time. Glad to see another Datsun guy that likes impalas/belairs. they where one of the first cars i really liked, but never have got ahold of one. What the final color going to be on the 510? Or is that secret!! Quote Link to comment

Or is that secret!! thanks! i love the impalas/belairs/biscaynes. ive been a lowrider guy since i was a kid and ill always have a 58-64 chev floating around here. not too sure on the final color yet, i want to do something different, and low key. i like the green on dillons car, and am leaning towards a brown or tan (trust me it will be cool) and dislexicdime, thank you, i wanted to save this one since the first time i saw it on craigslist.

510kevin Posted March 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 well, ive done some thinkin and changed the direction for my car..... i was workin on it and thinkin "what color do i want the bay to be?" so, im lookin around the shop for inspiration, when i spot it..... good color? check cheap? check easy to apply? check and another plus.....sound deadening, oil resistant goodness!! love it or hate it if you want. it is more of a function thing for me. i did not want to build a show car, just a clean streetcar, and i was going in a direction that was not making me happy. im happy now........... :) :) Quote Link to comment

DatDoug Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Check your battery connections. Make sure your terminals & cables are clean & have good connection. Make sure battery is well charged too. Its a Datsun. Start simple. ;) Quote Link to comment
