Love'n the progress Bro. Keep it up. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: Quote Link to comment

We are having a "open lapping day" this Saturday. I'm trying to get the truck done for it's first shake down run. If you want to come out to the track to witness the maiden voyage let me know and I'll get you some passes.:D Don't worry guys - if we run it we will get video!:w00t: Quote Link to comment

Bob3 Posted October 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 I just put the MX520 on the scales. It is very close to the 50/50 split I was hoping for!:D The new suspension kit will be here on Thursday. Once that is installed I'll be able to jack some weight around and get even closer! Here are the initial corner weights; L/F 542 R/F 503 L/R 456 R/R 497 1998lbs total with 6 gallons of gas in the tank! Quote Link to comment

budsaipan Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Hey, I was wondering what method you used to align the steering shaft and the steering wheel? I'm putting new steering shaft on my 620 and would like to keep it as straight as possible... unless you just eye it to close enough. Quote Link to comment
Dime Dave Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Bob, What a great job on the truck. Done in the truest sense of hot rodding. I can't think of a better rig to haul ass down the backroads to the dump in. Quote Link to comment
Bob3 Posted October 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Bob,What a great job on the truck. Done in the truest sense of hot rodding. Thanks Dave. It is a true "Japanese Hot Rod". Built from one of the oldest Japanese trucks, a rare 1966 Datsun single headlight 520. Then updated with a modern Japanese twin cam fuel injected engine, 5 speed transmission, 4 wheel independent suspension and 4 wheel disc brakes! I'm almost ready to go to the track Saturday. My suspension did not show up today.:cursing: I'm sure the blizzard had something to do with that. We got 20" of snow in the last 48 hours. It's supposed to be GREAT this weekend, sunny and 65!:) I cleaned up the grille tonight. Quote Link to comment
