denmarkboy Posted June 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Great work again guys. Good to see your moving around Rick. I think that after Canby we need to take up a collection and send Al and his wife on a weekend retreat. I down to donate $50 to get it started! It was great to see rick , and thanks again rick for the help . Charlie , thanks for the thoughts ,but please dont do that . I've spent years convincing her that every Datsun guy/gal have yard full of cars and truck , and sheds full of random parts for cars they dont own . So if you bring attention to the fact that I am a hoarder , I will have a real problem . lol she thinks we're all nuts ! But I must admit she has been happy that she hasnt had to make food on Saturday for at least 4 months . 6 Quote Link to comment

HOGIE Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Based on a talk I had with Al last night everything has been bed, hood, fenders, front valence have all been sanded with 320(final sanding for this project). Al is going to primer the tailgate this morning. It needs to be remounted to the bed and sanded with 150 -> 220 -> 320. Very close to paint. 4 Quote Link to comment

Draker Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 I am going to make an effort to be there EARLY and stay all day. This thing pretty much needs to be a driver by the end of Saturday. If you have been sitting on your thumbs for the last 7 months, take a few hours and help out with this build!! 2 Quote Link to comment

Draker Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 How early you talking Craig? I have to leave by noon so I'm down to get there early too. Well early is relative since I have been getting there around 3-4 the last few weeks. I'll try to be there by 8 or 9am. 2 Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Great work again guys. Good to see your moving around Rick. I think that after Canby we need to take up a collection and send Al and his wife on a weekend retreat. I down to donate $50 to get it started! im in on this ... hope the ass tray made it with rick ok ... big thanks to charlie 69 for donating and sending me the ass tray to complete the dash .... he was even nice enough to donate one to me for the dash i just got.... charlie is a valuable member proven by his contributions and general respect towards all members and just a nice guy ... woot woot ratsun ... i liked the patina on the tailgate .. thought maybe it would get left kinda as a homage to ratsun ... we could all sign it at canby .... either way a mint truck with a ratty patina tailgate seemed like a good idea 4 Quote Link to comment
HOGIE Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Me and Al talk about leaving it all dented and patina but after much talk Al decided that people would probably think "well they went through all this effort to make it look once and they left the tailgate looking like this, WTF?" I wanted to go rising sun over cleared patina. I was feeling lazy and tired of doing bodywork though. Lol 3 Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 i just figured we are ratsun and none of us really have mint painted datsuns .. we drive our shit and its kinda the essence of what ratsun is ...and to be honest when has anyone on ratsun cared what people think...i figured the large amount of signatures from contributors and members would be a obvious sign of intent ...could even take the tailgate after the raffle and clear it to preserve the look ...kinda figured this was a no brainer ...but i see .... it was just a over thought on my part .... 4 Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 A panel could be attached to the inside of the tailgate to be signed. Could be pulled before the truck drives away and then hung at Al's place. If another is to be done like this in the future.....the "over the top, overhauled" rig has been done......next time.....rat it and slam it :) 7 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Thanks to Rick for donating the rear shocks! Should be to Al by the 3rd according to the tracking info. 4 Quote Link to comment

denmarkboy Posted June 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 So here is my idea , I will take a 521 tailgate skin , trim it to fit inside the tailgate . Mount it , we can all sign it . And remove it when the truck goes to it's new owner Thoughts ?? 7 Quote Link to comment
harlow426@msn.com Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Sounds like another big job 'cropping' a tailgate. I think I have some stainless rocker guards I bought @ bring. Dont know original application. Have adhesive on back and white wrapper on polished face. I'll look.....could all sign w/paint pens. So here is my idea , I will take a 521 tailgate skin , trim it to fit inside the tailgate . Mount it , we can all sign it . And remove it when the truck goes to it's new ownerThoughts ?? 1 Quote Link to comment
