mklotz70 Posted June 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 I haven't tested the heater core yet, so yep...it's bypassed for now. I do get a bit of heat up through the floorboards anyway :) Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Damn I have a good eye :D What are you going to do when it starts to get cold out? :D Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted June 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Switch it to Hagerty classic car insurance and pretty much park it for the winter :) ......and I do plan on checking/fixing it sometime. I know the fan works, so I simply need to check it out. Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted August 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 a100addict and I went and visited a couple of car shows today. At the second one....I treated my baby to some fresh paint :) Quote Link to comment
slodat Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Looks great Mike! Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted August 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Not bad for $50 :) At that price, I won't cry when I have to cover it with real paint in a year or two. Nice to see you back. I'm thinking about entering it in a show at 122nd and division(Les Schwab) since it's the last chance I have for this year. It's an open show. The NL sure got some lookers while it was in the pinstripers booth today. We'll see how it goes tomorrow. I don't think I'll bother taking a wheel off to show the brakes like I do at the dato shows....nobody is going to know that's not a stock option :) ....plus...i'm lazy :) Quote Link to comment
slodat Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 I'm working near Tulsa right now. I was at an IHRA national event today in Tulsa. I grew up in Kansas, but left nearly 20 years ago. I forgot how close minded "car guys" are. We are blessed in the NW in that respect. I would think your truck will be received well there. Not the case here... Quote Link to comment

Icehouse Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Nice Mike!! What kinda questions did people ask? I want a "Best of" questions at the non datto show :D Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted August 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Thanks guys. Questions were about the brakes, eng size, and "what is it?" It was an open show, so there was nearly new cars there as well. A HIN type car or two. Some really different stuff and some really killer street rods. I didn't get any neg vibes from anyone there. Lot's of love. One guy...in his 60's or 70's....was dead sure that my NL was the one he got hit in and had his arm shattered. I suppose it's possible, but extremely unlikely.....but it was 40+ years ago....so even if it had been complete fixed up, it could be as weathered as it is. He didn't have any way to verify it or I would have made a point to recontact him. Quote Link to comment
pl521sss Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Congrats Mike It must be the flaming 600HP badge powered E1 Datsun that got everyone's attention. Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted August 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 yep....I'd have won the burn out comp if they had one!! :) ......I just know my rig would have burned itself out before any of those other rods :) Quote Link to comment
