Just called the PO of this car.. I just wanted to BS with him and tell him I finally drove it around a bit.
Unfortunately he passed away. I talked to his wife of 51 years for a while on the phone for a bit. She was still pretty upset. I gave her my condolences.
Chuck was a true Datsun nut. He sold me two of his 510's.. and he still had 3 more. He has been in the game since the beginning and really loved his cars. I BS'd with him for hours every time I would stop by just talking Datsuns and listening to his stories.
He had been battling health issues since I started talking to him, but he seemed like he was on the mend. Sad day.. RIP Chuck!

It's nice and clean on the inside. No rust at all. As soon as this bare metal is covered up.. this mofo is gonna be on the road regularly. Maybe not DD as it's my 4th car.

Before:
After:
Dogleg had some dents where the back is not accessible. I tried to pull the dent with a stud welder. didn't work.. So I just pooled up some welds and ground it down. Picture doesn't do it justice.
A little rot that needs addressed.
Welded it up

I put it on a little thick. No real orange peal, but it takes days(or weeks) to dry and harden enough to sand. Not a big deal for me.. I'll leave it like this until after Canby. Then I'll scuff sand it and apply filler and high build primer.
