izzo Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 i see you have a 68 finned valve cover, those are nice. have one on my 510 :D Quote Link to comment
420n620 Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 you got a few rare items like the finned valve cover and radio delete plate. cool looking 521. :) Quote Link to comment
lil89ram50 Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 those radio delete plates are rare? i broke mine when i got the truck taking it out!!! oh and very nice ride, and welcome to ratsun :) Quote Link to comment
420n620 Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 not to sure how rare, the only one's I see are here on Ratsun. The 521's around here either have a radio or it's missing. Quote Link to comment
mcdatsun Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 I guess I'm lucky! my 521 has the radio delete plate. But I want a radio! Photos are posted in this forum. Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 THis is a nice project! Dig the dash with the green line dividing the B&W! Quote Link to comment
521master Posted November 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 ride height is dailed in in the rear and my rims are out getting sandblasted and painted as we speak! the rims will match the green dividing line on my dash Quote Link to comment
521master Posted November 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 and that is 3"blocks and the middle 3 leafs removed Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 How many leafs remain, I have heard of using only the one leaf, and have heard about it collapsing/breaking also.:( Keep in mind the metal is 40 years old, what about buying new unarched replacements, keeps it low and you still have the close to stock ride.:cool: Quote Link to comment
521master Posted November 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 there are 2 leafs left the main leaf and the thickest load leaf i might put 1 back i havnt seen it on the ground yet and how are the door windows removed? i have some welding to do and want the glass out Quote Link to comment
