yep and i have a load of track in the post as i type,  gonna build a track onto a board and do a diorama as i like building them,  it will fit in my tub so i can drag it places

[Eccles]

 

 

 

 

 

these are some pics of one i made for all my type 3 toys

[Eccles]

so today i didn't have a lot to do and starting playing with my truck

 

decided to remove stickers and bonnet stripe for a cleaner look

 

[Eccles]

so while i was out the front playing with my truck an old geezer drove past in a truck full of scrap metal.

 

he pulled over and offered me a roof rack so i said yes

 

 

so after a few mods i got it it to fit kennys lil roof

 

 

 

 

 

 

and of coarse my lil ladies wanted to get a shot with kenny

 

 

 

and then once on i grabbed my bike rack and it fits up a treat

 

 

and yes i have not lined the tub as yet as been a lil busy and poor as just had 5 weeks off unpaid,  back to work in a couple days so in a few weeks ill mount my mags and do the rhino liner

 

 

this rack is pretty cool as a million ways to set it uo,  its a little rusty but i really dig it,  lets see how long before i get over it,  id say it will come off when i mount wheels,  I'm gonna remove fog lamps and grill badges today and maybe the street static will go too

Hey im liking the rack..good on the Ol geezer who offered it to you !

I had a massive HO slot car collection that took a full size long bed crew cab Ford pickup 4 1/2 loads bed full and only room in the cab for the driver to move when I sold it several years back.  I head 768 cars and trucks.  Mostly the old Auroras from the 1960s.  also had many German and Italian slot cars.

 

I am happy I sold it but I do wish I would have keep more of the cars and trucks.

looks like this may become a problem as i like collecting,  i see more slot cars in my future

[Eccles]

so i had some more spare time today

 

removed the remaining stickers

removed fog lamps

removed all the badges from grill

full detail in and out ready for work in 2 days

 

he came out a treat but i keep spinning out on how bare he is

 

 

 

 

[Eccles]

yeah mate i was pretty stoked he stopped and offered it to me

 

he drives past all the time and has stopped for a few chats,  i have gave him my scrap many times

 

i suppose the old saying treat others as you'd like to be treated comes into play here

 

everyone in my hood knows we are car people as always cars coming and going

[Rhino13]

It just looks bare because you have every little extra known to man haha! Kenny is looking great though, I'm glad to see you kept the stickers around the locks, those are really cool and unique.

[Draker]

Nice score!

i will never take them off as they were something i wanted even when i was looking for my truck

 

i just needed a change and can't do liner or put my mags on till i have a better looking bank balance

[Eccles]

 

so kenny copped a new sticker the other day,  i found it in a little japanese shop and just had to have it

 

 

loving the new rack and sticker less ass on him now

 

 

found the correct wheel nuts and lock nuts this week,  ill get new tyres mounted and have them on in the next couple weeks,  can't wait to see these era correct mags on there

 

still got some other sets of wheels sitting here in case I'm not a fan but am thinking these will look right at home on him

 

looking at 195 50 15r as these are 8 inch wide and i think that will give me some stretch,  may even go a couple inches lower if need be to fill guard gap

[Eccles]

so i cut a deal with a mate late last nite

 

he had a set of tyres on his 1200 ute that where the size i had in mind for the new wheels

 

turns out he bought a set of slicks and i know theres like 10km on his current ones

 

a deal and hand shake was made

 

so early this morning,  its a sat

 

i set off to pic up cam and drive him to his factory to collect his wheels

 

so to my tyre guy we go

 

stripped my wheels,  stripped cams and mounted his tyres to mine

 

 

kenny all set up for our sat morning mission ready to do work truck stuff

 

dashed off for a coffee while it was getting done

 

 

got back threw em in the truck and headed home

 

mounted them up

 

 

mite have to get him lower now............

 

and then gave the wheels a good clean as had been sitting a while

 

 

and

 

the end result

 

 

 

 

im digging the old school feel

Such a beautiful truck! Serious inspiration. I just got my 620 a couple weeks ago. Same yellow as yours, just faded out and some surface rust. Was nice to flip through the time lapse to see the truck come along! Keep it up! I love it!

[Pacific coast Datsun]

Those rims fit the look of the truck so good...you nailed it !! Do you have the center caps for them & is there a manufacturer stamp / name on them ? Kool Japan decal too....

funny you say that as went to the wreckers today to find some sort of cap that fits

found a few different styles and then settled on these

 

 

i was thinking the same thing and now i got caps on it looks more complete,  I'm even considering leaving with this height and rake

 

it drives perfect like this

That's made my day! :D That was my only issue with your 620, I almost commented the other week to suggest getting the press stud and bungee type to delete those clips....I even typed it in and I thought I won't say it incase I look negative.

Any trucking company should be able to put you onto someone that would make the Tarp. Then you'd just need to make up some tarp bows

took the roof rack and visor off today,  don't worry mate i wouldn't think you were being negative,  I'm always open to ideas and suggestions
