Dat-girl Posted January 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 I want that roof rack. Don't paint it !!!!!!!!! patina is perfect Roof rack is going nowhere.... and paint is a must. I like patina I HATE rust. We are custom painting the truck and ordered my steering wheel yesterday :) 2 Quote Link to comment
Kirden Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Rust is an amazing form of weight reduction, till you decide to stop it... Really loving all of the 520/521s being built right now. Makes me hate my 620 even more. So what kind of modifications would that center console need to fit? It looks like it would be an easy piece to copy so I was thinking maybe make a template using that as the model. Either way that is a really bad ass console and fits the truck well. 2 Quote Link to comment

It just needs the transmission tunnel cut out some. I am not sure 100% yet on how it looks because I have not seen it in person. I should see it in the next few days when I get my car back from the upholstery shop. I am sure someone could make one similar to this one but like I said before.... these are worth a lot and not easy to come by so I am not sure if I want to cut on it. Quote Link to comment
Kirden Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Yea, $250-500 on ebay. I would hold on to it and make something similar. Then again that's like 30-60% of the price of my truck :P Quote Link to comment

Dat-girl Posted February 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 So the console has been voted out of the truck. It just did not fit well. Have ran into an issue on getting my new steering wheel to fit so things have been set back again. All interior panels are complete just have to make some modifications on the seat frames and the steering wheel before install. Quote Link to comment

red76datsun Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 looks really good! love the dash :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 I like it.The only thing i see is and there minor just pointing out if you have not noticed or did and taking care of it. 1] some baby moon caps for the wheels,just to cover the inside around the lugs 2]From this angle looks like the dash pad is pretty crooked under the vinyl wrap.maybe redo with a stitch going down it or the cracks were not filled in before the wrap 3]Bring it down about 2 more inches. This is just my thoughts please dont take it the wrong way,i am so glad you kept going with your truck and I am glad to see it almost finished.Please more pics as you finish it. :hug: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: 1 Quote Link to comment
KlassicMotion Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 I like retro paint job. I don't think the red wheels work with the paint now, though. They need to be an accenting color. Maybe... White... Maybe the brown? I can't wait to see how the finished interior turns out. Nice job! 1 Quote Link to comment
