the510keeper Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Happy New Year everyone Been wanting to do another bare metal car, weird right. However this time put a spin on 2nd color of jambs and engine bay. Picked up a 69 2 door from Brian Barnes couple years ago. No one else saw potential but i did. hahahaha And here it set for awhile, Someone from Northwest might remember this car, has Washington title, someone did some fun cutting to the tailpanel and spare tire delete 1st thing to do fix ugly, going to install a BMW spare tire well, and cleaner tailpanel Look close you can see where someone needed the taillight metal and cut big Slow start, one small step for Datsunville 4 Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted January 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Started tailpanel, Just a taste. Dav had been working on her up to this point, after tailpanel vision was in place, we decided to strip her naked. Decided to get aggressive. Gutted red and got her ready for complete blasting. I know a guy. This red head stepped in to put in the hours Got distracted, mybad 3 Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted January 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Haha then a donor car came available Off to Az. to pick up Crispy Critter Floors went in to another project, not perfect but usable, used the under rear seat floor pan in Red Head. Fire fucked the center of the car. Clean rust free car too. Front of this burnt Dime is very usable, engine, and suspension, Quote Link to comment

the510keeper Posted January 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 This project hasn't been touched for a month, most these pics are over the last 6 months. Looking forward to putting color and clear on this one. Tail light panel. Buttoned up most of it and wow, looking at the car makes me feel like all is going to be ok. This is the fun part Some one cut out the metal that would be used to attach the new panel. I decided to weld strap and form it as if were the flange. Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted January 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 Made a jig, to push the tailpanel center area in to mate up with the trunk floor. and to lift the trunk floor to mate up also. 2 Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted January 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 Few more things done ? Engine bay almost welded up but found more rust, drain area removed and need to patch area behind Donor car has rust free quarters Someone else replaced floor, did ok, i've seen way worse We just needed to make them better and fill in voids, also cut some donor floors from another wrecked dime Once Red Head is finished, Datsunville we be doing a 620 bar 3 Quote Link to comment

I am about to take a stab at doing the rockers on my 521. Is this door bolted back on or is the fellow just holding it back in place? Is the rocker just held with a few tack welds? Im just worried about alignment Quote Link to comment
DARIN 510 Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 Hey James. I’m interested in the old fucked up rear lower panel. I still need an exhaust piece. Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted July 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 We held the door up to save time. Usually i would hang the door and open and shut it to make sure shit is perfect. Rob Hill only has some much time. Quote Link to comment

the510keeper Posted April 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 Let finish a lost project. Funny how unfinished dimes can haunt ya. Pulling the rear sub frame and getting ready for re blasting Interesting 280zx a-arms Welded on some wheels to move her around Blasting at its best. 4 Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted April 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 Freshly blasted again. Now thinking I should put her on the rotisserie. Maybe.... Finishing corners, Other holes Some repair parts leave alittle to be desired, but in the end it's 100 times better then it was. This corner has bugged me for awhile. and a couple hours done. The silver weld threw primer in amazing. If you look back at the rusty engine bay, the center drain is not rusty at all where the weld primer was sprayed Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted April 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 Slowly working my way around the car More fucking rot Test fitting recycled inner panel Found a chunk in my scrap of 510 body parts Using the bumper hole as a reference point On to the outer section Quote Link to comment
