DatWifey Posted March 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Not much of an updated, but it's something. I've just been dailying this, and we've been picking away at cutting rust areas out of the floorpans in our 510 and welding patches back in. But, I finally got some of my shit back from JRock the other weekend during the meet at his place. So, take my freshly powder-coated dog-dishes: Add some custom decals from Crackerjack: And, ta-da!!!! :w00t: Now I just need to finish painting my other two wheels to match..... 1 Quote Link to comment

This is nice, I always thought something should be in the middle of the 521 hubcaps. Quote Link to comment
DatWifey Posted March 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Thanks. I am actually kind of running with the PO's design on them, so I guess I can't take full credit. But I am digging the little Rats. Hopefully they stay on well :D Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 very cool. glad to see you still picking away at the truck. :thumbup: 1 Quote Link to comment
DatWifey Posted March 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Ha, yeah, there is still a ton to do on the truck, but the majority of our time lately is to get the 510 road-worthy to become my daily. Once that happens, the truck will get more love again and we'll start rebuilding the L20e to drop into it later in the summer. But things never stop on any of the projects. The ideas and conversations still go full-steam regarding all three.... or four if you count the bastard-child Maxima :lol: .... if only we had time to work on all of them at the same time. Focusing on one project, to get to a specific goal, is how we keep motivated to continue picking away :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 yea its tough. At least you have someone to help you. Between my 2 datsuns, my chevy and my 60's yamaha i'm spread pretty thin. But i must go on. lol. Quote Link to comment
DatWifey Posted March 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Haha, yeah, I'm sure others feel sorry for you having multiple badass vehicles ;) Quote Link to comment

DatWifey Posted March 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Thanks :) The progress is slow with this not being the primary project right now, but the pics will roll as more gets picked off :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
DatWifey Posted May 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Well, we finally took a much needed break from working on the 510 to do a little sprucing up on this old girl. It's been a bit over a year since we swapped on the Dragon Green hood and have just been running it as is. I've been wanting to pull out the dent on the front driver's side and get it painted for a while, but life has been a little less than forgiving for us the past year, so instead it's just remained as-is and it's just been mismatched and my daily-driver. It's kind of hard to tell, but the front driver's corner as a little buckled from something So, Brody made a small cut, and we massaged it until it was quite a bit better, then re-welded Did a little sanding Then some filler primer to fill in the pock marks and some slight low spots, then a little wet sanding and had a little issue with our larger of the two compressors that we run in series shitting the bed just as we were prepping the paint gun (this ought to be a fun one to get out) but thankfully we didn't really need it to do this small of a piece, so we just ran the small guy and finally got started painting it at 9pm last night. Came out pretty well though! Letting it dry for the day, and just letting Lila run a little skimpy today Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 topless... nice...hood looks good...the valance will go niceely 1 Quote Link to comment
DatWifey Posted May 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Ha, yeah, the valance will still put everything else to shame.... but it's all good. I'm just happy it's about to be all one similar shade of color again B) Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 wow,good job and i mean it,it looks like it is coming together real nice.I do have a nice dash pad and really nice vent windows if the canadian does not buy them,these vent windows have almost perfect vent seal rubbers on them.let me know. Quote Link to comment
DatWifey Posted May 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Thanks Tanker! We have a couple spare doors with decent windows and seals on them that are in a holding pattern until this becomes more of the full-time project again. And as far as the dash pad goes.... I have my heart set on a 520 metal dash (just like every other 521 owner :rolleyes: ), so I'm kind of holding out for that. But thank you for the offers. And just cruising back through my thread, I just realized that I forgot to post my pics of the new-and-improved tailgate chains :o Jon powdercoated them for me, and then we found some 1" heat-shrink tubing at Fry's and got a little protective sleeve on them. I'm in love! :wub: Before: After: Sometimes even the little things matter :cool: Hell, even Icehouse was jelly of them..... that has to say something! :lol: Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 I am jelly,does that mean something,maybe just a little.I cant wait to scratch them all up.lol Quote Link to comment
