Draker Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Today was a really fun day. Thanks for the lunch Steve! We needed it! This build really keeps getting better and better. It was going to be really cool... now it's just amazing. This is panning out to really be a top dollar build.. and the new owner is going to be really lucky. Every nut and bolt has been removed.. cleaned up. But we still have a long ways to go.. 6 Quote Link to comment

Rick has also done some great work and traveling ! I could spend a whole day telling you about this build . It sucks trying to break it down for some in less than a half hour . because I try to tell everyone about all of you . And the donations of time and parts , thats hard to do in a half hour . 5 Quote Link to comment

Rhino13 Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Can't wait to see it after the dip, it's so close to paint! Glad I got to help on the truck today, it definitely put this build into perspective for me and made me happy to be part of the Ratsun community. Seeing the original paint all polished up on the passenger side firewall put a beautiful image in my mind. 4 Quote Link to comment
DanielC Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 This is my donation to this project, the fuse block. A Blue Sea fuse block mounts to this piece of plastic, that uses the original holes that held the 521 fuse block. I got some 1/4 spade screw adapters that I put on the Canby fuse block. These will plug into the 521 wiring harness. Another view. This is the completed fuse block ready to go into the truck. 9 Quote Link to comment

denmarkboy Posted March 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 I agree , but i guess I jumped the gun , Bo showed up and said the cab was bigger than he thought , he didnt realize the cab had the whole front end was attached . So he is donating the dipping of all the smaller parts , everything but the cab and bed . He said if we tried to do the whole thing it would be like 1000 dollars . We can put the funds into many needed things for the truck or ? 1 Quote Link to comment

mklotz70 Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Ah....reality sets in. Oh well.....having the small parts dipped will still save a good bit of effort. Instead of trying to remove all the rust in areas that won't be seen....inner fender wells....underside of cab....I think using a rust converter and covering with undercoating will be much more expedient. 4 Quote Link to comment
Rhino13 Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 I'm moving to Springfield/Eugene area in a few weeks so I'll be a lot closer to your place Al. I'd be willing to spend a few nights a week doing the smaller pain in the ass areas on the cab. I think the bed will be fairly easy, just time consuming obviously. 3 Quote Link to comment

We can put the funds into many needed things for the truck or ? Still a good sized donation and the cab and bed will still get paint. Towards the truck is my vote, many things to put together still :) 2 Quote Link to comment

Towards the truck is my vote, many things to put together still :) This has turned into a win win , he is still doing the parts the funds were sent to get done . In fact he is doing more , both doors , both fenders , hood , front valance . Being able to cover some of the other small things will be a huge help. example : windshield rubber & rock chip fix , the windshield has 2 small rock chips the rear window rubber new battery materials to finish cab and bed prep Like I said win / win . ! ? 3 Quote Link to comment
