Welcome, It is nice to see a young dude ready to bring a 720 back to life! Usually guys your age want something brand new. Good luck with the build! B)

Thanks

When I saw it was really easy to convert to manual I couldn't resist :devil:

Dude, you HAVE to put up more pics. Give us a run-down of what kind of work you want to do with her, what all she needs, and keep a log of how your work is going.

 

When I started my project on Ramona (my 720) I came to these forums, and if I hadnt I would have been lost LONG since.

Ok I'll start a build thread here will be kinda tricky to do both. But I'll manage B)

Meanwhile you can check the build thread http://community.ratsun.net/topic/45307-datsun-720-project/

Looks tough.

[Alec 720]

Yeah.... well when I was installing it 2 of the hinge bolts broke.... so I'll have to rethread those

 

And I did some bad welding.... haha yeah I am hard on myself.

Later on I may try a 2 inch Cowl. :thumbup: (when I have a good welder)

Inspired by Nis720 and his dashes, I got one of the spare dashes and will start working on it. B)

 

I kinda like the look of no dash though :P
