chevtruknut Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 We are in the beginning stages (in other words its in a million pieces!) of customizing a 78 2 door hatchback. I can't yet post attachments, so no pics yet. I just shot the jams yesterday, and the color is unbelievable! It is solid black underlay, Silver prizm pearl overlay and clear over that. The body will be pretty customized (completely shaved) and the interior slightly modified, but running gear stock (for now:D) Has anyone seen any pics of any completed or project 510's from 78-81? They seem to be a really rare breed! Thanks, and great forum. BW Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 The late model 510's aren't as popular as the early models. There are around though. A few guys on this forum have them, they post from time to time. Maybe you will catch one of them. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Welcome, How about some pic's of the various million peices :D Quote Link to comment
chevtruknut Posted July 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 I would post pictures of those million pieces, but I am a new member and don't have attachment rights yet! Oh well, when I can I will. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 I kind of like the 'newer' 510, so post pix!! There's an orange one I see very rarely around town, driven by a little old lady. I'm always working so can't chase her down and ask if she'll leave it to me in her will. It's a two door and most likely an automatic, but it sure looks nice. Quote Link to comment

All you need is a photobucket account ;) This link shows you how to attach pics here. http://forum.ratsun.net/showthread.php?t=703 Quote Link to comment

lynchfourtwenty Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 actually if you goto imageshack.us u can do that also and its a bit quicker.. i have to do some tinkering to get pics to show tho.. but eh.. it works Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 no tinkering needed with photobucket...;) Quote Link to comment

Small price to pay for reliability though :D 2eDeYe;12490'']no tinkering needed with photobucket...;) I agree, I use it when its working. It seems like some days its kinda pissed. just buy your own website. No tinkering. :D I did :D The tinkering is the same though :( Or more :D I tried to give the dude posting rights... Maybe he hasn't been back. Quote Link to comment
chevtruknut Posted July 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 As you can see, pics are working (or they did if you see them!) Thanks Icehouse) The pictures of the jams REALLY do NO justice to the color, it really POPS and everyone really likes it. It will be an on again off again project, but aren't they all! I am a HS auto shop teacher, so I will let the kids do some of it when school resumes (along with my '64 suburban we are rebuilding!) If any of you 78-81 owners have pics of your rides, or others please send them via e-mail, I am open to all ideas since this will be a non-stock ride. Brad Quote Link to comment
