Pacific coast Datsun Posted October 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Ok stay tuned guys. Spoke with Guy last night & were planing another 3 day marathon 320 session sometime in November & maybe another in December. Next in line is to get the motor cleaned & painted, body work & then finish painting the frame. We've both been swamped w/ other projects lately but in the back of my mind & hopefully Guy's...I'd like to see it @ JCCS 2010 completed. Quote Link to comment

sdsurf Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 I finally got to see this rig frist hand. It is so cool... The work guy does is absolutely amazing. He is also one of the most gracious guys I have ever met. He even let me use his bead blaster on an old valve cover I have to see what it would look like! Anyway the truck is coming along nicely...

Heres a few pix Guy took....... & the speaker Mike donated to the truck.........:lol: Quote Link to comment
nis720 Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 That is really coming together pretty good. The painted frame looks sweet. Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted December 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Wow long time & no updates. I will add that Guy has been working on the rockers & a few other spots where the metal was cut out & replaced since i was there last. Our next 3 day marathon if all goes well will be this month..the 26th 27th & the 28th. Our plan is.......... sandblast primer & paint the bottom of the cab.. sandblast the engine bay & primer... de-grease the engine & prep for paint... remove windshield for A pillar rust repairs... finish the metalwork [rockers & kick panel sections... pix will be taken & not much sleep will be had but it's worth it :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 This is coming along nicely. What a great place to work on your 320. Where is this shop and who belongs to it. If only I had that much tools, equipment & room maybe I could get organized & find things when I needed. Nah I would still have to dig through every box & bucket of parts to find what I am looking for. LOL Great project guys keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted December 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 TY Charlie. Were doing the work at Guy's work. His boss is a huge car guy & has an entire room dedicated to car / truck work :D Quote Link to comment

zed1 Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Have you identified what tires you are going to use? After we finish restoring the wheels (trying to find the correct color matched silver finish), I need to decide which a white wall or black wall to mount. Your project looks great!

Pacific coast Datsun Posted December 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Ok another 3 day 320 marathon is complete. Guy & myself put in 14 hour days & made huge progress. 1st we [carefully] removed everything from the cab & engine bay except the back window. Next the underside & front clip was sandblasted, primered then undercoated. All of the small parts were blasted in the cabinet & are now ready for primer. We then did some bodywork on the bed, lower valance & core support. Ill let the pix do the talking now... this covers day 1 :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
