WOW!!!

 

I'm in awe of the work done on this truck!!!  Utterly amazing!!!  So impressive!!

 

My 2 cents....I kinda like the ratsun on the oil filter....the rays of the sun pull you into that focal point.  That "ratsun" is pretty much covered......it there anything Datslocos on it?

We talked about that and realized, how can we not put a sticker on it when we're the ones that built it?

This is going to be epic Canby!  How much are tickets, by the way?  And is there a limit to how many will be sold?

You guys are kickin' ass.  Keep up the good work'

 

Oh by the way Al Hate to tel you but you need to ad another name to the donation list,  Gene Knight donated the 2 amber, 2 red marker light lenses and the 4 chrome rings for them he even paid for the shipping,  I have never known Gene to donate anything so this is really special!  LOL

 

Also if there is something else that you need let me know as I will be shipping the correct heater part on Tuesday.  Please do not return anything you have extra please Keep all spares denmarkboy if you do not use it personally I will bet you knows someone that can.

 

We need more Oics and Videos!!!  LOL

 

Sorry Gene , just been a little busy . Thanks Charlie

I know, mostly ratsun guys. I dont know what the deal is, I don't have time or money to donate. I've offered to donatw parts several times and for what ever reason seems to get ignored. Truck looks great. Everyone has done a nice job. But I don't have a nice bumper to donate. Would if I did though.

Coordinating something like this is a nightmare. I'm sure the reason Al hasn't replied is just because he is super busy. Thank you for offering up parts from your personal stash. I'm sure as things start coming together, there will be more stuff needed. Actually.. I almost guaranty it.

I have been down to work on the truck twice, and hauled some upholstery down on the second trip.

Sometimes I have asked Albert a question, and it takes a few days to get a response. 

Albert is more busy than any one can imagine.  And I think he is focusing on getting done what needs to get done NOW, rather than answering every question on the truck.

Coordinating all the people coming down, putting up with new strangers in his yard, and feeding the people, has to be a night mare.  I told albert this has to be like herding cats.  Only much worse. 

His wife is also putting up with all this stuff, and people in their house.

 

I believe Albert needs a front bumper.  Probably needs the bumper brackets that hold the bumper to the frame, the small "Z" shaped brackets that hold the ends of the bumper to the front apron, and the rubber biscuits that go on the inside, and outside otf the apron, by the "Z" brackets, and the bolts for that, also. 

 

When I left on Saturday, the bolts to hold the alternator lower bracket to the engine were missing, or at least not where I looked.  The engine is using the thicker cast lower bracket.  With my limited time down there, if I could not find something, like the alternator bolts, I would just look, and see something else that needs to be done, and do that.

As a 521 hoarder, ive offered up parts several times with no reply, but what ever, not a datslocos member so who cares right?

Well sorry you feel that way Ted , I have made my best attempt to involve as many people as possible . I've tried to follow up with every single person , even if I cant use the part offered . 

 

In your case all I can find 3 postings in this entire thread ,   1st offering some brake adjusters , which was directly answered by Draker . The 2nd two complaining that about the fact that your offer to supply parts has gone unanswered . And to make sure I didn't miss something , I just looked back threw 4 pages and over 200 pm's . I can find one from you offering parts . Is it possible you posted these "offers" elsewhere ?

 

 

All I've tried to do here is involve as man people as possible in this build . I've did my best to try and control this build in a manner than everyone can see or go back threw the build and see every ones efforts and donations, Whether that be a part/labor/donation it's all here .

 

Datslocos datsun club of California and Oregon is the only reason this build happened in the first place .

I ordered a set for the truck. I broke one of them trying to get it cleaned up..  :( But maybe if they are incorrect we might need a set. Rockauto only lists one adjuster for the truck so if it's wrong, we don't have many other options.

Most the people who have givin parts or labor, ARE not datslocos members, Ted. Just letting you know

Datslocos.....not an 'official' member but im a little crazy and have Datsuns.

Just discovered Ratsun a couple years ago....have had datsuns for 20y. Raved about the wealth of info/pics etc Ratsun provides. Never gave the name "Ratsun"much thought until recently. We definitely have a George Orwell-1984-big brother type RAT here on the 'forum'.

 

Kinda funny Al and I have had the same mutual friend(EVIL SANTA) for a long time but just got 2 know each other over this build. Then met a bunch of local guys that share the datto-passion.

 

 Not locos about the rat. The remaining 98% of you guys more than make up for it.

 

TED....I can give any good 521 part a good home.
