fisch Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Are you kidding me! I want my 59 to get the keeper/vic treatment! I've had it longer! LOL. Do you have all 4 hubcaps Atom? They are freakin rare so hold on to them. I never found a direct window match nor a source for window rubber. I suspect something in the austin family will be close. Will follow this thread eagerly and pretend it is mine. :devil: 2 Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 As soon as I saw James shirtless, I knew he was going to get naked... luckily it was just in his chonies. Work looks good. Quote Link to comment

TENDRIL Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 question.. why do you do that spotty black paint? Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Some photochop inspiration for you guys! Not a datsun, but a distant cousin. English Ford 100E 1 Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 question.. why do you do that spotty black paint? It is a guide coat I think. They will block sand it and anywhere the black paint remains is a low spot to be dealt with. Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted February 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 question.. why do you do that spotty black paint? Gide coat baby, lets you know what you have sanded and it there are dents that still need to be fixed. This 59 is not a 6k paint job. But is still going to be way better then we had originally figure on. Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted February 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Wow that blue one looks cool Quote Link to comment
AtomChurch Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Yeah the blue one has a good ride height. I wonder what I am going to have to do to get it that low? Haha. And great work everybody! Keep it up and in no time at all it will be In my garage! Quote Link to comment
TENDRIL Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 dose this thing have a solid rear axle? can we get pics of the suspension areas? Quote Link to comment
67 411 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 The blue one looks great low like that. I wonder what it would look like with the roof chopped a few inches. Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Solid rear and a front straight I-beam axle with parallel leaf springs. When I was lookin into it, I was thinking of having mine professionally dropped by a hotrod shop. You maybe could also do a small C notch in the frame rail, and use blocks or set the axle on top up of the springs. (If I remember, it sits under the springs.) You will have steering issues to sort out. But if you put anything but stock engine in there I think the steering will get in the way anyway. Purple put IFS front clip in his. Also you I'll probably need to run remote m/c for brake and clutch. Rear will be easy to drop, but you may need a trans tunnel running back. Axle is REALLY low gearing. But there is a theory the dif from like a 521 or 620 could fit. Casing looks similar. Also, there is an inner edge where the flair attaches to the body that might need some trimming in the rear .
