the510keeper Posted December 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Getting the left door ready for assembly, Started with a cherry left door and drilled out the window frame, get the door mounted and realized upper right area by the handle doesn't line up as well. However the rest of the door and fender lines up very well. I going to go with it. may be I'm just being picky 2 Quote Link to comment

the510keeper Posted December 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 On to the tail light panel mod Cut and flange, on other cars I have seen people just cut, but to flange it will help make it more rigid. you need these to make it happen relief Mickey ears help to keep the metal from tearing while hammering and dollying. Then all of these extra holes need to be gone 2 Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Are you going to see those cuts from the inside of the trunk? Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted December 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Are you going to see those cuts from the inside of the trunk?yes while the taillights are out u will see the cuts. Once the taillights are in and mounted premenitly you will not know the difference, other then this project build, between a coupe and converted 2 door. WOW Good job James :thumbup:thanks Dave 2 Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted December 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 And now on to spare fenders. The Bluebird fenders were, well lets say, interesting. I used a weld through primer on the inside areas of the patch and fender. This is a hard area to seal once welded up. However the weld through primer does not promote your spot welds to lay down as well. Right fender was much better Doors are the cleanest 2 Quote Link to comment
carterb Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Looking good James! What color has the new owner selected? --carter Quote Link to comment
Dirttrack510 Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 Amazing work James, you are a Datsun Ninja :ninja: Quote Link to comment
RandyWanger Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 Interesting project, amazing work as always. So is it just the tops of the door that are different? My passenger lower door skin is a bit rotten, loads of sedan sheet metal to be found but nothing coupe specific. Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted January 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 70% bare metal, looking like a very clean Coupe, need to seal it for the winter I found a clean OG paint trunk lid in my shed o parts, but had to fix the lock hole 2 Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted January 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 The new owner (if everything goes as planned) will actually get this bird reblasted and sealed once he starts the project in the future. I don't know what his color will be or anything else. He told me it will go in to storage for a minute while he finishes another dime. 90% of the differences between the coupe and a 2 door is the roof, window frames and glass 2 Quote Link to comment
TENDRIL Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 The other 10% is how many pantys it will drop 4 Quote Link to comment
