Rustbucket Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 As if this car wasn't light enough to begin with. You've done away with floors, lawn mowers, and now the tires!? Link to comment

]2eDeYe Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Are you using cardboard to space the body off the floor? :lol: Link to comment
Tristin Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Cutting the fenders like that is nothing new. I have a some friend that are heavy into lowered trucks (frame scrapping, body dropped, cant open the doors when its all the way down), and they usually tub the front and rear fenders. Some dont even run front fender wells anymore. Im surprised you didnt go straight to it... Its looking good though. Man I love low cars. Link to comment

carterb Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Indy, I love this thread. Thanks for letting us watch you tear into this project. I have seen so many cars taken off the road because of a head gasket leak, sat under a tree for 10 years waiting to get fixed, only to find their way to the crusher because someone couldn't be bothered to lift a wrench. You are going balls-out on this one! I truely hope to see you and the car together and back on the road some day! You will be smiling for sure. Of course, your teeth may rattle out of your gums but you'll be smiling! : ) 1 Link to comment
Dirttrack510 Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 I think you could run the exhaust through the rocker panel sections on the drivers side of car and have it kick out right in front of the drivers side rear tire. :P Maybe use some heavy gauge square tubing to make the exhaust inside the rockers and let it double up as extra chassis reinforcement, then make it round when it pops outta the rocker by the wheel.

SpudWhitman Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Exhaust systems corrode, though. Why introduce that to the rocker panels? Link to comment
DARIN 510 Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 The exhaust should fit through the hump. Look how high the drive shaft would be sitting. Link to comment

Icehouse Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 It's one hell of a project! Indy, you should clean the metal better before you tack it. The weld will sit better. Also, it looks like you need a bit more heat. Which is hard to determine on datsun sheet metal. It's thickness changes by the inch in any direction :) Also it helps to keep the heat towards the thicker of the two metals you are bonding. Not that I'm a real welder, just things I've picked up along the way. Link to comment
