highdesertdatsun Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 How's this going? Updates. I hope you post a video of this truck launching . It would be bad ass !! Quote Link to comment
520 gasser Posted May 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 It's going pretty slow I have some pics of my dash I need to put on here primed the top and glove box door. So I can start blocking it out to try and make a mold of it and I got another glovebox door and used it to weld up the gage hole in my dash so I can mount the new ones in it 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 my 66 520 valance is different than a 521. Quote Link to comment
JoeCool Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 so i have 521 doors on my 520. looked at a post that had pics of each door from each truck and my locks are in the same place as a 521 but i have 520 sheet metal up front??? its a 67 and that is what the vin plate has on it. wonder if this is a mid year thing when they was changing over to 521 to use up some left over 520 parts or the ran out of 520 cabs so they started useing the 521 cab insted. i would like another door for the driver side that does not have the pull knob for the lock if anyone has one in the spokane seattle area i would be willing to traid or buy. got my front rims to go with the rears i have 15 x 4.5 going to run a 185 x 15 should be 25 inch tall 5 inch wide First thing I thought (jokingly of course) is SUICIDE SHIFTER! Reach out the window with your really long arms and change gears! :P But on a serious note, that truck is looking bad ass! :thumbup: Quote Link to comment

wayno Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 So it's been 3 months and still no fender from datsunpolisher seaside he would sent it agean on the 8 this month sent him a text and email and haven't herd back from him That sucks <_<, I have only bought from him once, it took a while for the parts to get here, but they did arrive. There is a way to leave negative feedback, but I have no idea how that works. I would do as Eagle_Adam suggested, PM a mod, what a pain, people should do what they say they are going to do. :mellow: 1 Quote Link to comment
