74datsun620 Posted August 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 Shock mount is .120 wall dom tube and I threaded a sold piece of cold roll shafts that it slides over! Bumper has a sold shaft that I threaded then tapped it into the dom tube so I can clean up the front end! Quote Link to comment
74datsun620 Posted August 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 Plus I started the headers, but ug the kit I bought is horrible. It has dents near all the bends and is not semantical at all ug. I did love the flanges and they match my non production chevy head perfectly. I will live with the headers for now as I don't want to buy a second kit now, it would kill my planned budget and a header can be changed anytime. So I have decided that I will make the muffler and turn downs unboltable. Quote Link to comment

74datsun620 Posted August 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 The cowl is lol the only body part that is from day one. But that is life as a racecar, they get wrecked and then parts gets replaced. I still need too have a mold and left side door made, plus I will be having a hood made and I have that mold. I have all the original molds that Chaves used except for the left side door. Quote Link to comment
Ranman72 Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 I get two dogs tags with the header kit name on them to cover the big dent on both headers. i might have put it just above or just below the dent to accent the shit they sent you but i like your idea better 1 Quote Link to comment
74datsun620 Posted August 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 i might have put it just above or just below the dent to accent the shit they sent you but i like your idea better Thank you! I just can't believe a header that is sold for a hot rod would come with dents. Most people I know want to get there hot rod headers chromed, I don't think anyone would waste money getting these chromed. I haven't decided if I am still going to get them ceramic coated?

74datsun620 Posted August 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 Because the super modified will be like the two Datsun pickups, 1967 Scout and the two Hudson's in the I will be dead if they are for sale. I sold my International cab over today ug and the 1956 Ford pickup. I have had a few people wanting the 1956 Ford for a while, just had to decide I didn't ever want to finish her. Lol wife wants less projects, so her Mustang might be the next one for sale. 1 Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 Man, that thing would have been a great truck to haul your race car around on. 1 Quote Link to comment
74datsun620 Posted August 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 Man, that thing would have been a great truck to haul your race car around on. That was the dream ug, wife didn't even tell me she put it up for sale ug. That is why her name isn't on the Datsun or Scout pink slip. She didn't know I had bought a crane, aluminum rails and ramps already for a ramp truck. Wanted to use it to haul the vintage midget and the super modified. Quote Link to comment
74datsun620 Posted August 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 I wonder how a ramp truck Datsun pickup would do with the wing? The super is supposed to weigh 400lb more then the midget I tow with my long bed Datsun,but the wing changes things even if I loose the trailer weight bye making a ramp truck. Quote Link to comment
2wheel-lee Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 Nice GMC motorhome. I just recently got rid of my father's that I inherited after his passing. It was a '73 that he bought in '75. They're way ahead of their time. Quote Link to comment

74datsun620 Posted August 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 I didn't take any pictures sorry, but I started fitting and bending a tread brite aluminum floor board! Got to love old racecar ways to do things.(lol Dad had angle next to your feet and a drip pan built in for the in & out box oil leaks/ 150 lap races they would leak) 2 Quote Link to comment
74datsun620 Posted August 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 That cab over was badass!! Plus lol Q, I thing everyone on Ratsun can probably tell bye my posts that I love old International's! 2 Quote Link to comment
74datsun620 Posted August 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 The Monterey Historic races and the Key will probably stop me from getting anything done this weekend on the super modified. If you are at the Key I will be pumping gas and trying too selling racecar stuff, just look for the Datsun 620! 2 Quote Link to comment
