mrbigtanker Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 So when you said you were treating Goldfish to lunch , i didn`t realize you were going to walk around Walmart eating stuff off the shelves, then putting the empty packages back. That is some funny shit right there. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Quote Link to comment

skyblue Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 You're lucky. I did the same thing when I did the head in my 521 when I was living in a townhouse tha had homeowners bullshit. Woke up a neighbor at 10:30, he came out and gave me some shit. Next day I get a call about breaking the rules cause you're not supposed to work on cars. Fuckers. They threatened to tow my truck. I got the hell out of there. Quote Link to comment

jrock4224 Posted October 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 I went to work and hans had the day off and when I got there beer in hand it was at this point one notch done and the shock crossmember in ....drilled and re installed in frame and tacked in.... so we cracked some beers trimed the other side out and finished the notches ... thank u hooligan for the material ..... fyi ratsun the 5 inch is perfect size but we heated and opened it up a bit to give a little wiggle room for the ubolts and axle...... so once that was done on to the next abortion ... making the Datsun lower ........yeah I know left handers only for me soon .....sigh why am I addicted to having the lows lower....pretty sure im making my truck undriveable .....at least un turnable.... um somethings missing here .... fuck me we plated the inside of the frame rail hmmmmmm tis is getting weird drilled some holes test fit boom new rear crossmember you can see in the pic of the boxed in rail, the tube sitting on the rail is the rear upper shackle mount ...shaved clean we are sinking that in the frame rail right in front of the rear most crossmember gaining about 1.5 inches of height ...might have to swap pit the four inch blocks .... some concerns .... the one piece driveline is gonna rub the cab ......don't really wanna new tunnel so just gonna trim and hope as low as it will be that I can make it work ... I think it will be fine but might go back to two piece if its a real issue ...... gonna run air shocks in the rear for now....need the number for those ......over all I was surprised how much we got done today if we had a hole saw 1.75 we could been finished but we called it a night fucking love Datsun time ..... hans is a good friend in my ciurrent situation ....... I know I give him a hard tme about all the time I have sunk into his sedan painting but he is a good friend to put time on my stuff while im at work ..... his help and our skills compliment each other and we can get some shit done when not stoned or drunk or flying planes or riding bikes.... he is not a internet guy so I handle his thread on his car but if he ever read this ... thanks dude yor help has been immeasureable.... 2 Quote Link to comment

Hooligan Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Damn nice progress Jon. Glad the notches worked out as well. One thing I notice in the pic. It looks like your tailpipe is going to hit the rear axle..... I know a guy who can fix that for you :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Woa! Sick bro. Looking forward to seeing it on the ground. One question, I've thought about doing this similar type of notch where you don't have to cut the bed for the giant trapezoid that most people do but thought it might weaken the frame at the notch. Are you reinforcing the notch or is it strong enough the way it is? Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted October 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 its prolly fine I run a bridge notch like that in my mazda but I need more clearance ...we thought about reinforcing it but for now im running it this way ...... im adding a trailerhitch too but only to tow my bike or jet skis .... I think it will be fine ....for now ...remember this is just temporary Quote Link to comment

wayno Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 I have thought about that bridge notch, but the way I use my trucks, I just think I would bend the frame going over a speed bump or something thinking that this much weight won't hurt, how long has your Mazda had this type of notch, have you hauled anything substantial? When you put that sleeve in the frame for the rear shackle, do you beef that area up, or is that strong enough for normal use? Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted October 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 We plated the inside of it ...... It's bullet proof ...... Hans went nuts on my truck ...... Trimmed te whole front end out for clearance .. I showed him how I did his other frame and he went to town ..... Since taking my 225 miller welder and plasma over there he has gone nuts on my truck in his days off..... Actually now that we trimmed the front end we are gonna try to build some sets of those stepped control arms u built wayno.....I need some pics of them wayno ..... The Mazda bridge notch takes a beatin... I hailed a ton of shot and it's still great some almost fifteen years later 1 Quote Link to comment

The Mazda bridge notch takes a beatin... I hailed a ton of shot and it's still great some almost fifteen years later I did not build drop arms out of 521 LCAs, Mike K. did though, I just took his idea and made a set out of 720 LCAs, my 520 is sitting on a 720 frame, so is my 521 kingcab for that matter, 720 frames have so many upgrades available, ball joints, disc brakes, power steering, available parts, and diesel engines. :lol: :lol: :lol: These are the first set I made, they still have the shock mounts in these photos, if you go to my 520 thread in my signiture, you will see how far I actually went. This is my lower shock mount, I use stud/stud datsun roadster shocks, they are the shortest ones I could find, and allowed me to keep the upper stock shock mount, you can see that the 720 shock mounts were cut out. I used the sway bar mount hole to mount the shock, I still have to figure out the sway bar, or just delete it. 1 Quote Link to comment
