rollinsrods Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Brake flush done. Some fuel line routing done. Received 4 Datsun books and timing chain tool in mail today. Wiped out and looking forward to working on my 620 some on Wednesday and Thursday. Cash flow is running low, so things are slowing a bit, but should be very productive labor wise. Pics up later in the week. Time to do some Datsun education and get ready for work... Quote Link to comment
orangie Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Made some radiator brackets with a bend brake I made a few months ago in the backround. 2 Quote Link to comment

Meanwhilw fucked up the forward driver line...Still have to remove the e-brake cables and the rear lines and will start pressure washing this dirty bitch ;) Quote Link to comment
rollinsrods Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Painted repaired grill that's a temporary replacement for my really nice '76 grill that will be put on after my truck gets painted a ways down the road. Gloss black surrounds and grill teeth with the rest satin black. Cure time for the paint wasn't as quick as advertised so you can see the finish on the gloss got worked over by the masking tape. By no means perfect, but I'm pretty happy with it. http:// http:// http:// 1 Quote Link to comment

red13 Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 You do good work. That dash, grill, and bezel look tits. thanks the bezel has some blemishes from having to weld a couple of cracks. Grills not mine, but you will like the one I will eventually get to make Quote Link to comment

ownTer Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 Just ordered this... http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_36298_Rockford-Fosgate-R2SD4-10.html Thinking under the dash, or behind seat. I know its not very nice. But its cheap. Should be here in a few days. I need some more sound in my truck! 1 Quote Link to comment
sebpv Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 I had one mounted by the PO under the dash in a standard enclosure. U can look it up in the stereo thread. Eventually Imma try to fit an under-bench enclosure with a shallow sub. 1 Quote Link to comment
ownTer Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 Yea im messing with some cardboard now seeing what i can get away with. Windshield wiper motor is the only real obstruction. But should be able to get something just big enough for the sub. It is a shallow mount at 3 5/8". So i should be able to make it work. As a matter of fact. I will make it work. 2 Quote Link to comment
sebpv Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Dismantled the rear end on my spare truck. Wanted to avoid welding but...maaaann is there a lot of work just to remove the brake cables!...Shoulda sticked with welding but oh well... Also removed the missing spare tire mechanism for my project While at it, I gutted the driver side brake assembly. Pressure washed the old gunk out. Will clean up the internals tomorrow, inspect and grease the bearing? and paint the backing plate Quote Link to comment

Thanks for those pics. I knew I was missing a bracket. I guess I'll have to make one. Quote Link to comment
rollinsrods Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Thanks for those pics. I knew I was missing a bracket. I guess I'll have to make one. Bottom and 2 outside are fuel tank. Center is vent canister in wheel well. Top is license plate bracket. All should be available at a salvage yard for pennies compared to the pain of fab. Let me know which one you need and I'll keep an eye out for it. Quote Link to comment
HOGIE Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Replaced fuel filter and fuel pump and cleaned the lines because. Last night my Datsun decided to leave me on the side of the road, so I called Troy at BowTie Towing Quote Link to comment

ownTer Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 I think mounting this in place of the parcel tray would be perfect. Yea i saw it few weeks ago in another members truck. It really didnt look too out of place the way he did his. Should be here Friday, hope to have it built and making noise this weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment
