 about a month or some shit ago . 

 

 

Orange car still hanging with Mr. cooper but still moving forward 

 

BUT ,, although not everyone likes a big butt ,, here goes............. bro 

 

  

Fat510 1200 had 3rd gear pop out problem so as posted before went to rebuilder ..  Apparently was a shifter arm got back put in to make actual mounting point on tranny reach to crossmember without moving crossmember ..  Had to bolt new rear housing to block that was made for original tranny swap to find correct height .. Welp the i didn't notice the mounting on tranny had probably been filed flat.. so in tightening down ,, there was a loud cracking sound .. 

 

whoopies daisys 

 

underneath ,, not so bad ,, maybe some JB weld can cure that mess 

 

 

 

 

Top ... not so much ,, and this was after bracket was removed ,,,  haha 

 

 

 

 

after making new bracket ,,, i switched old bellhousing back onto tranny and now good to go 

 

 

 

well it was real nice 

 

 

 

 

 

with a couple of assembly tips from WildBill ,, it's back to looking like shit but as good as new kinda... Bracket is so chewed up because bolts had come loose along time before we got it.. 

 

 

 

Burt itt won't be bolted there anymore anyways. 

 

 

was below freezing a few weeks ago when i did this.. i used this heat gun aimed under car and a couple 300watt halogen lights for warmth worked surprisingly well ,, haha 

 

 

 

After bolting up as  originally done,,,,  cut this exactly right height so could take crossmember out and make bracket .  

 

 

 

 

 

It was very cold so only saw about 15 seconds of welds ,, then hood would steam up,,, haha 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bracket has since been ground to a pulp ,, and rewelded and painted with ,, thick ass paint so pretty much looks like someone that knows what they were doing ,,, did it 

 

  We cut out for the speedo cable but never took oics of that,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PICS FOR BILL 

 

weird dents were made from , Radiators are being stored on seat.

Have you done any thing to the orange 1200 ??  Nope .. but check this shit out ,, yo 

 

 

Got "The Inspector" 1000 licensed so me and youngest drove the goofy thing around yesterday.  Only back shots,, because hauling twins ,, fronts are a bit rustier looking but cool.  

 

First stop was  neighbors ,, checking out the damage pulling a Datsun 70+ miles,  on a rope,  does to your sway bar mounts

 

 

Then we went down to the bay 

 

 

 

My little dudes are 5'11' 200+ so i'm thinking there may actually be same or more leg room as a 70s Camaro 

 

 

 

 

Rest are pics with boys facing camera so no including those.

Did someone say Datsun 1000???  MY neighbor JJ,  you know him , you love him,, you have looked at his projects on his phone,,,, been a very busy SOB  

 

   Heeeeerrrre's Larry!!

 

 naked with all paint sanded off 

 

 

 

 

Sealer applied .. extra fenders were prepped and coated for use as wall hanger / in case of emergency use 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Because of warm spell,,  got painted way earlier than planned 

 

Newly re-chromed grill and vintage fog lights setup he bought at the swap meet 

 

 

 

 

 

47-48 Chevy sedan tail lights seem to fit nicely 

 

 

 

 

He's still got a ton on sanding/ buffing of paint a huge amount of drivetrain shenanigans but closer
