impala_631 Posted November 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 it was running a little rough so i decided to rebuild the carb(after i finnally for a kit for it) back together and a new clutch cylinder too massive 1300!!!:D Quote Link to comment
impala_631 Posted November 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 it had regular white walls on it, so i took a grinder to them and made them into fat whites:p Quote Link to comment

impala_631 Posted November 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 since this is driven daily it needs some sounds,i didnt want to cut the dash cause it has a sears AM unit in it(too cool) so i made a pod to mount a deck in the glove box, it was a little tricky cause the player had to be angled so the back of the unit would not hit the windsheild wiper linkages(very close), i also left room to the right to mount 2 air gauges:) Quote Link to comment

menotknow Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 That's the go with the head unit. I did that with my MK1 Cortina. Keeps the dash looking way nice. Very good. Yep keep the pictures coming, I like this one! Quote Link to comment
peanut2425 Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 hmmmmm, me likey. 520's and 521's are really growing on me. Do you get much scrubbage up front with that height? You should get a move on and get the front all the way on the ground so we can see how pretty it looks laid out. :D Quote Link to comment

impala_631 Posted November 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 stock hacked out for bag/bracket well trimming,going to need some blasting/undercoating:( Quote Link to comment
impala_631 Posted November 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 the datsun badge was missing so it got replaced with a ratty streetrod emblem:D Quote Link to comment
impala_631 Posted November 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 preveiw of some tuck:) Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Will you mount the bag inbetween the arms or on top? Usually it's a very tight fit on the 520-521's. I know Conitech bags fit but have to be placed perfectly. This is without having to notch the side of the frame. Quote Link to comment
datsun dreamer Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 looking good:D Love the wide whites:cool: Quote Link to comment

Pacific coast Datsun Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Ok kool..maybe just tack the lower bag mount in at 1st until you know for sure they wont rub on the kingpin incase it needs to be moved [in or out] Keep the pix coming..im getting ideas :D Quote Link to comment
menotknow Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Yes, that is awesome! Liking the badge and the hint of tuckage. If firestones are too big, 5" slams shouldn't be too small for such a light front end??? I don't think they're too much smaller though (they're actually 5.5" from what I've read) but it might be the difference you need??? Just an idea. Good work, keep the pictures coming. And how do you drive it daily now? Gotta rock the Impala instead? Quote Link to comment
