heywier427 Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 doesn't have to be in good shape. just want the center bar that says Datsun. going to retro fit it into a retro sound stereo. going to paint the chrome bezel black, and try to mimic the silver striping. I have one, but its in such good shape, I don't want to cut it up. next move would be to make it out of plexi and have a decal guy make up the logo. I just don't think the raised letters will look as good. thanks. Quote Link to comment

heywier427 Posted January 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Thanks for the reply. I found an ebay sale with the Datsun letters in alot of different sizes/styles, so Im going to not cut up an original part and make my own.http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-32-Sponsors-Sticker-Sheet-Nissan-Datsun-Decals-Decal-Stickers-/161532728170? ill post up pics when done. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
heywier427 Posted January 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 And done. Don't have the patience to add the silver borders. I think it looks good like this, but I will probably do it when more important things get buttoned up. No one will be the wiser :) 2 Quote Link to comment
DanielC Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 That actually looks pretty good. I would hide the wires hanging down. Make it look like a stock AM radio, and there will be less of a temptation for somebody to steal it, when the truck is parked. That might save 1. the radio. and 2. The window they broke to get in. 1 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Where did you get that gauge setup? Quote Link to comment
harlow426@mail.com Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Where did you get that gauge setup? Looks like 80's era VDO's that were in Rabbits/Jettaz/Audi 4000s/fox etc......could b wrong but think im on the right track. Quote Link to comment
heywier427 Posted January 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Your right on track with the 80's vdo gauges, but these are brandy new! I daily an 81 turbo diesel rabbit, so these feel right at home to me. The gauge cluster came from here:http://community.ratsun.net/topic/52722-custom-datsun-510-dash-centre-console/ but it looks like hes out of stock at the moment. Im definitely going to be hiding the wires. The car is far from done. There are 4 more gauges going in the lower console, and the factory ac in-between the two. Quote Link to comment
