Rhino13 Posted December 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 Whenever I go see Al to pick up more of the small interior parts I'll see if he has an l18 crank other than the one in the complete motor. Diego said he's got l18 parts he'll be going through once he moves, could potentially be one there too. The l20b block is really clean, so Hobo you should maybe use this block for your big bore and use the block you have as a table :) I may be getting a welder for Christmas, depending on what my girlfriend decides on, and if so my floors will be my first project. If not, I happened to meet a non Ratsun guy near me with a 620 and he builds custom cars for a living, so he said he'd help me out no problem. Going to try and clean it out so I know "what I'm working with" (zing) a bit more in depth. 2 Quote Link to comment

flatcat19 Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 Holy shit!! Right? Hobo offered that one up to me for giving up my LZ dreams. What a friend. 1 Quote Link to comment
Rhino13 Posted December 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 That crank is crazy! Get the man another crank Hobo! Haha Alright more pictures, what's left of the parcel tray Little blurry but a fuse cover, does this go to the truck? I have two under hood fuse blocks Did these speakers come stock? I noticed the Hitachi and figured they were an option It's in great shape, the membrane doesn't have any tears or holes One of the fuse blocks, the one original to the truck is in horrible shape so I'll either fix this one up or find another And a gun rack, I'm pretty certain the other side is in the bed but I fully intend to keep that and put some bb guns on there 4 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 I have contemplated getting a gun rack. BB guns are a good idea. I'd hang a couple samuri swords from mine. 2 Quote Link to comment
Rhino13 Posted December 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 If you haven't put one in your truck by the time this thing is going I'll throw a sword on there for ya haha Speaking of when it's going, I have plans to take the cab and bed off eventually and undercoat them as well as the frame. I plan on getting the motor going sooner though and want to try and get this thing to Canby in whatever state it's in as long as I have power, brakes, and good tires. 1 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 I already have enough holes all over the place. I will not be adding to that count. 2 Quote Link to comment

It won't be anywhere near the Canby truck, but I'm hoping it'll be running and safe enough to drive! It still has seatbelts so I'll be fine... Haha 2 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Just keep your goals focused on getting it safe and moving.. and you'll get there! I'm the king of... "while your in there" stuff. Something simple takes way too long because of all the other stuff you're doing while you have it torn down. 1 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 What is the first thing on your list of things to do? 1 Quote Link to comment
Rhino13 Posted December 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Well I'm going to shoot for early January to pick up the z22 block, so that will go to the machine shop pretty much right away. If I get a welder I plan on doing the floor pans as my first project, but once I move it around to the back of my house by my shop I plan on disassembling a bunch of stuff, mostly to clean up, but also so the nice parts don't get messed up while doing other work. I have a heater to rebuild, I want to do work on the dash, clean up the gauge cluster, find seats, and make a list of everything I'll need to make it to Canby! 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted December 21, 2015 Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 Hobo we will be stripping a 69 registered as a 1970 521 in May if you still need a floor and are willing to come to Phoenix and visit! 1 Quote Link to comment
Rhino13 Posted December 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 I hope to have the floors done before May, but thank you for the offer Charlie! Deepening on what's on you truck and where I'm at with parts, I may be interested in getting some things. 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted December 21, 2015 Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 Any time Rhino. Make a list of what you need for your 521. I have some used rockers here also off the trucks if you need them I can take some pictures of them after Christmas. 1 Quote Link to comment
