Hooligan Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Damn... looks like you are off to a great start. What are your plans? Quote Link to comment
rjgilligan Posted November 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 I'd like to keep this thing as stock as possible with some various cosmetic upgrades. It's gonna be two-tone: datsun roadster turquoise/cream. Already pulled the whole engine apart and went over that, so it runs great... new timing, electric, hoses.. I'd like to upgrade the exhaust with something more substantial, get a more desirable manifold, and pull out the emissions. Already upgraded starter and alternator. Repainted steelies cream. Rear bumper will probably stay off. It's got 66' Mustang side mirrors. KEEPIN THE HOOKS. Would like to get a front bumper guard and a pre-78 grill but damn if i can find one. Rubberizing the whole underside, bed, and frame. Brakes completely gone over. I will beef up the suspension a bit, but not much. More pictures to come... Quote Link to comment
rjgilligan Posted November 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 The '68 buick special in the pictures, then the 68' 280se benz and 66' continental in the garage are next. Shit I've got a lot of work ahead of me.. Quote Link to comment
GRpufnstuf Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 There's a pre 78 grill at Portland pick n pull north. There was one 2 weeks ago anyway Quote Link to comment

jdznutz Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 I just want to say Nice Job!! Nothing else to contribute but this makes my project goal seem attainable. I see that you decided to keep the interior painted white. Was this for convenience? how difficult was it to keep the door jamb and the interior separated and what does the transition look like? I have never really considered the interior a separate color but it looks good from here. Interested in final pics!! Quote Link to comment
