raggmann Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 I'm diggin' the rocker panel/edge molding job you've done. I'd like a LOT more in depth pictures of how the floor is being built and attached if possible. I'm repairing my l/h floor pan and rad support around the headlights and need all the help I can get.

If so, I'd be interested to know how she works! nope its a battery switch when running dual batteries, you can run A,B, or both, i have a spool in it, mostly 4x4 run the air locker or cable lockers 2 Quote Link to comment

521 Johnny Posted February 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 any thoughts of my idea for a one peice drive shaft? i dont think it will end up being too long Quote Link to comment
raggmann Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Personally, I think a 1pc d/shaft wouldn't cause you any issues. Especiall with the extended length on the tranny and the range of motion with the bags. Quote Link to comment
Dee Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 fucking hell, that truck is awesome. I also think I have to drive up to murrieta and pay you to have my framerails done on my Z....good lord I almost want to make that picture my wallpaper! lol Quote Link to comment
hacked521 Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 one piece driveshaft wont be a problem, thats what im going to do with my 521 project. I honestly dont see why datsun had run a two piece driveshaft. very nice build by the way! Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Looks GOOD laid out ! Quote Link to comment
