Not that I'm envious or anything.

Dang that thing looks good outside in the sun. :D

Bob..It'll happen believe me. Youve got way too many hours into this truck to miss Canby over a oil pump. Can you borrow one off another miata ?

&..........she's so clean & love the color !

Never noticed the "strut-bar" in the bed before.

That is a bracket for the bed cover. There is no need for a rear strut bar, the bed itself does that. I am working on a front strut bar though! ;)

I got the motor back tonight! My boys are racing this weekend so I'll put it in on Monday. Sorry, I'm going to have to miss the show at your church. So it looks like the unveiling will be at Canby!

[goes2fast]

Bob, Do you ever answer your pms? :poke:

[denveratsun]

So sorry to hear that Bob! Stoked that you got it back though man!

 

Any other Colorado based Datsun guys or gals wanna come to a show Monday?

Hip Hip, Horay!

 

GO BOB! I am a MazDat fan myself, I own a 07' mz3. Always wanted to build something wicked with a miata chassis. Beautiful work so far man.

[RetroNut]

I want to get a 510 and do a full chassis rebuild and everything just like this 520, but seeing how long it took on your own, I wanted to ask you Bob what it would cost in labor alone (guessish) to do this as I work way to much and this would take me 3 years :-P I'd like to pop it out in 6 months to a year. With parts and everything, we are look upwards of $40g right?

[goes2fast]

Bob, It's beautiful, except those headers need to go to Jet Hot! If you don't have enough time to make it to make it to Canby, you could always go to Good Guys in Loveland. They have an autocross on Fri. and Sat. Then there is Pueblo the end of the month, two great shows. Wish you would answer my question tho.:confused:

Those are the stock headers. I have a nice set but I need to modify them to fit. Just not enough time! :cool:

[Charlie69]

Bob what a beautiful job you are doing right down to the finest detail! Class act!

 

I am curious.

[yellowdatsun]

Looks like a distribution block for the brakes to me. Or could be a proportioning valve.

[Blitz]

I agree with yellow. It looks like a proportioning valve. My miata had one, and also the Z I have now look just like it.

The boys are correct. It is a proportioning valve.

[datrod]

This makes me want to drive up to canby just to get a better look. :cool:
