New World Datsuns...

Those are certainly pretty.

Any shots of your gauges?

Like jewelry.

They are so pretty.
And you will be able to tune them in about 10 minutes, I like that they do them right, but you pay for that.

Ooooooooooooooooo Shiny

I haven't quite got to the gauges yet. Still on the list though. I need to get the 510 back on the road then the Tacoma needs a bit of love.. then gauges.

Getting pretty good at this:




I am also the king of scope creep when it comes to projects. I figured I'd take a peak at the bearings after 1000+ miles... "while was in there"...

Next up.. clean it. Make it more pretty.. seal it up and install it with new carbs and other goodies. Then hope to baby jesus I can get that chain noise to stop.

wow man, i missed it. why is it out again?

Timing chain making noise, nothing found when pulling the front cover. Pulled properly reseal the oil pan, inspect bearings, clean, make prettier, do exhaust work.. etc..

Gotcha! Guess a good way to learn what was done right eh

daaaaaaamn so clean

Really wish I has a zinc plating setup... got lots of stuff that would look better in yellow zinc...

I guess when I get a setup, I'll blast these back down and plate them.

Also not a fan of painted aluminum... but I just couldn't get it clean enough.

The right sheen looks good to me. Tough to find though. Usually either ends up looking too dull or like bumper chrome paint. Your looks great.

It looks a little dull to me. I'm wondering if I should clear coat it.. I'm just not sure if oil will stain it in the current finish. It seems a bit porous.

Clear might not hurt. Maybe it's the camera flash that makes it looks right.
