oldskoolvws Posted November 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Also, next on the list, a real suspension. Right now, ONLY reindexed up front. Bump stops, everything, are still intact. This was only to get a feel for height with the wheels and to check tuck. Most likely attack right now, mklotz z'd arms (he finally agreed!!! http://community.rat...arm-z-mklotz70/) and oldskool air shocks although I'm keeping an eye out on my bruddah Mr. BT's coil over setup. I have everything for a complete up front rebuild except the stupid lower pinion washers / gaskets. MKlotz is going to check out a Roadster kit to see size, but I'm also pulling out a few resources that I hope might work. http://community.rat..._80#entry782402 Quote Link to comment

Shut the hell up. I lived down the street from Eun. He did choke stuff for me and my boys in Kailua. Ding, ding, I know em! I knew all or of them. Man you remember Waiks down by the Zoo and Point Panic? Don't make me pull out THOSE pictures. Here's another one of my babies from back then. Eun's work. Euro T/A's baby. Only way to eat rubber with bad alignment back then. Quote Link to comment

pl521sss Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Very clean truck!! You don't need that clock, pass it to me. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
erichwaslike Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 It's quite likely one of the rarest datsun parts on this planet, it showed up a while back(year or more?), I PMed an offer and never heard back, then a while later we all found out where it ended up. the 411 dash clock that goes on top of the dash is almost as rare too. ive seen one in real life and like 3 online that were all broken and still not for sale.... ive offered sergio with the ka 411 up to 500 bucks, a new dash pad to replace his with one that doesnt have the hole and anything else hed want and he still says no..... i want one so bad. and now i need 2 of these too, one for my truck and one for my dads....

thisismatt Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Gorgeous truck! What size are the tires you're running? Quote Link to comment
oldskoolvws Posted November 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Tires are 195 / 50 / 15. Needed the slight stretch to tuck the 8" wheels under the fender with out rubbing. The future lower controls arms have been shorted a little to help. Quote Link to comment

oldskoolvws Posted November 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Went in the garage today, looked at Tiki...and asked "what next"? No reply. So I guess it's up to me to decide. Maybe I'll start gathering some stuff for the engine like 12x1.25 to -6 fittings and some stainless tubing. I did order a mastercool flaring set with 45 and 37 degree dies. Win! Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Engine picture would be nice.Tell Tiki no be shame Quote Link to comment
oldskoolvws Posted November 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 I know, I know for sale area. Anyone near me interested in these wheels before I put them out to the mass audience? Will come with everything seen wheels, tires, centers, lugs. Fully polished but need some love and I think they're Westerns. Tires are old. 1 Quote Link to comment
oldskoolvws Posted November 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 So now I'm thinking. Where's Skib? MUST I post in the FOR SALE section, or can I sell in my own thread? Say I have some goodies coming off in my build thread or extra's or whatever, could say I say "15 bucks to those people asking why is he taking that off"? or can I say "I have these extra parts laying around, need cash to continue, buy this, this and this"? Just curious. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 You can sell in your own thread, no big deal as long as your thread continues to have excellent pics of your truck. ;) 1 Quote Link to comment
