mklotz70 Posted May 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Sorry....absolutely none. I haven't even done any work on the ball joint suspension that is supposed to go in it. All shop time is spent on brake kits before the mill gets here. Quote Link to comment

mklotz70 Posted May 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 I'm really hoping to have some time to work on it this summer. I have to redo the upper control arms I designed, so that will be the next work that gets done. Glad to see you're back!! Give me a few more weeks to get the big toy in and up......then you can come over and check it out :) Quote Link to comment

]2eDeYe Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Oh I don't know, sometimes they sit so you can get to them later. At least it's still on the list :) 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Mike you have a lot going on no worries. I bet your daughter still does not drive! Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted July 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 It's still on the list and I've even come up with some cool ideas for it over the years. I'd love to get it done and off my back!! I may just sell the Fairlane so it won't be hanging over me. Nope....she still doesn't drive. lol Technically, the ball joint suspension is for Mend......but it hasn't been touched in sometime either. I want to get it hammered out as soon as I get the brake kits done. I keep getting sidetracked by the "issue of the day". Hasn't been as much fun as it should be. Heck....I'm still trying to get caught up on mill videos! :( lol Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted September 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 I thought I'd update with the most significant change to Mend lately.............ownership! Without going into the whole story, my daughter got her graduation money(paid off a CC) and I got the truck. I guess I actually own a Datsun again!! :) Plans for it will remain very similar to what I've had planned, but there will definitely be a couple of changes. Now I just have to find time to work on it! 1 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 ..and drive it, don't forget to find time for that :) Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Congrats Mike! I hope this helps to get it done. LOL That is one way to get out of teaching your daughter to drive buy her vehicle! LOL Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 This is good :) Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted September 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Thanks guys! I'd like to at least get the metal protected before the bad weather sets in again. I'll have to do any work to it in the driveway..... :( I'm happy to have the whole "graduation gift" thing off my back, but it didn't get me out from under having to do the work on it.

izzo Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 just finish it already lol. Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 NO izzo, the longer he works on it, the more parts he invents to make are lives easier/safer, and best of all, he makes stuff to keep are Datsuns on the road. 3 Quote Link to comment

mklotz70 Posted September 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 I've got three 10x20's canopies across the drive way, but a solid one like that would be a lot nicer!! Especially if it had walls to the ground, enclosed ends and a garage door on one end :) 1 Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted January 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 I'm going to put these updates here for now since the rest of the ball joint mod info is here. Apparently, I don't have a ball joint thread separate from this???? I can't find one. Since I'm restarting this and will finish it in the next month or two, I guess I'll start a new thread....no point in wading through all the old stuff. 4 Quote Link to comment

Charlie69 Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Mike by pushing the control arm forward does this also push the spindle center forward mowing the wheel forward in the wheel well? Quote Link to comment
