edekalil Posted October 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 (edited) After this I'm wating for the tail lights. I'll probably be broke after that but what the hell. Edited October 19, 2018 by edekalil Quote Link to comment

carterb Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 That's what I was thinking. $400 for a second?! I wondered how much they'd be asking for a good one. $500. Wow. It's great that someone did this but $500?! Quote Link to comment
edekalil Posted November 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 (edited) The grill is on it's way to my house! Dam it will be delivered today I feel like calling in sick. I got the FedEx people to hold it till I get back next Monday. Edited November 27, 2018 by edekalil Quote Link to comment
edekalil Posted December 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) Got it! Thought the surrounds would be a cast metal but still I guess for the price it does look good and hopefully will last at least the rest of my life. I'm tempted to just go ahead and put it on the 72 sedan. Quality looks good all around. Edited December 3, 2018 by edekalil 1 Quote Link to comment

edekalil Posted December 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 I'll get some close up pics here in a few. Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 Aren't the original surrounds plastic? Quote Link to comment
edekalil Posted December 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 They may very well be I'm not familiar with them. Way back I had no info on them that I knew and even that they existed.Never saw one in person, But I love it and am Soo tempted to put it on one of my cars. I had planned to use it on the repainted blue car I have all apart. I want to get back on that car a little at a time since I have no time. Quote Link to comment
carterb Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 The original surrounds are plastic. Quote Link to comment
carterb Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) Ebay listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/DATSUN-510-Supersonic-grille/153286626186?epid=9025416104&hash=item23b0984b8a:g:3ssAAOSw9lBcBOES:rk:1:pf:0 Looks really nice. I hope he makes more stuff. Description is funny to me though: "The grille is made of plastic, aluminum and metal" Aluminum and metal - Isn't that like saying Drugs and Alcohol? Or more accurately - Alcohol and Drugs? Edited December 3, 2018 by carterb 1 Quote Link to comment
edekalil Posted December 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) I believe they where to be made like the original so I guess they hit it on the head. It looks very nice and I'm digging it. More oics. This is the 72 510 Sedan I plan to put it on with an L20 B motor and have it lowerd down some with 280Z struts and brakes in front and the aluminum finned drums in back. And hopefully a bigger bolt in rear end R180 lsd. Gotta save some money now for it. Edited December 3, 2018 by edekalil 2 Quote Link to comment

tr8er Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 Thanks! Looks super well made Quote Link to comment
carterb Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 I've seen lots of sedans converted to coupe taillights. I think they look better on a coupe. But that's one of the things that makes 510's so much fun, everyone gets to build them how they see fit. (for better or worse) --carter 1 Quote Link to comment
