cg78 Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 I have a thread in the truck forum, but decided to make one under projects for easier reference. I will sum up what I have and skip details unless asked. I have a fully built LZ22 with a exedy stage 1 clutch and a 280z trans(used to be t-5). I have air bags in the back to help with loads and keep my truck low when needed. The wheels I have are american racing pythons and they are 16x8 wrapped in pirelli p6's. It is primer black for now, but will soon be flat black. The current thing at hand is making a 82 datsun console fit my 620. I am making a custom hole for the shifter, so that buying a shift boot will be easier. I am also painting it black. This first picture is from when I was on nwde. Here she is now. Here are all my console pictures. The first is the donor console. piece I cut New console trimmed Fitting trimmed piece Epoxied Piece Puttied piece ready for sanding Items used for console. First is the epoxy. Next is the putty I bought at a hobby shop. Lastly is the paint I am using along with the adhesion promoter. I will finish this in the morning giving every thing time to dry. I will also post some engine pics as well. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Didn't happen to use a 4X4 console did you. They come with an oil pressure and voltage gauges at the top. All you need is the 720 two wire sender and some wiring and still allows the low pressure red light for the dash. Quote Link to comment

cg78 Posted October 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Thanks for the replies guys. No I already have a passenger knee buster guage set. I got the main console finished today, but it came out kinda crappy. The milliput putty is not user friendly. It ate through just about every sanding product I own until I gave in and painted it. I still have to modify the upper boot and mount the console rails. I have photos that I will post tomorrow after work. Quote Link to comment
