denmarkboy Posted April 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Wow, I didn't realize the truck was going to be fully done! I thought it was going to get raffled/giveawayed just regular-like. Pretty freakin' sweet! It has gone way beyond , where I thought it would go . Hell I figured everyone was going to vote for the ratty , slammed , patina , patched floor truck . Instead , we have done a frame off build , with parts and labor provided by some of the best in the industry . And the one thing we share in common is our love for the Datsun . Today will be no different , I am no pro but the body work is getting done , headed out the door to go get my secret weapon ! (Little brother). and here is a shot of the white we will be using 8 Quote Link to comment

denmarkboy Posted April 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Hi guys. I have no intention of fucking with anyone on this thread and respect all the hard work everyone is doing. I have one question though. what charity will the proceeds go towards? Datsuns Northwest is the group that put on the Canby event . They themselves are a non-profit group . They support many worth wild charities , they havent announced which one they are going to bless with the donations generated from this build . please visit their web sight to view info and about past event , donations , charities helped , and to register for Canby 2015 ! http://datsunsnw.org/ 4 Quote Link to comment

Kirden Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Wow guys, this project is coming along so quickly. I wished I lived close enough to help and learn. Body work scares the :poop: out of me... 4 Quote Link to comment
denmarkboy Posted April 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Body work scares the :poop: out of me... Tell me about it , It took me years to do the bodywork on my own truck , and it's still not right and needs a makeover . But that is not going to stop me from learning from all the skilled guys . we got the hinges stripped painted and doors hung . I have to thank my lil bro ( the secret weapon ) , 2 - 65 mile round trips + 2 - packs of smokes , 6 beers , lunch = 2 days of hangin with my bro working on a cool datsun for some lucky bastard ! 8 Quote Link to comment

jrock4224 Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 i think who ever wins needs to be told or linked to this build so they can see what they got themselves and the hard work poured into it!!!!!! (wait i already know the thread is here...lol) 6 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Part of winning contractually obligates the new owner to start and maintain a thread on Ratsun. Perhaps not a build thread... since this is the build thread. 6 Quote Link to comment
