New World Datsuns...

I guess I'll post this up, even though I'm not the main contributor at the moment.

My brother and I picked this up basically for free last August, I think it was. Came with suspension and a back window. Photos in chronological order...




Got some doors


Got a dash














we got some correct 69 fenders, a hood, and a bunch of other smaller parts (including some 69 hatch vents for the goon :thumbup:) and started stripping it down last night.



for the lulz


Aircraft stripper... Working wonders here.






An interesting discovery

I saw that fender and wondered how you did it. Jelly, and want to do eet.

The stenciled fender? Those actually came from Draker, who got the fenders with Kami's goon. We shipped those fenders off to oklahoma last week. We got some proper 69 fenders now.

Sweet pics,

I really like the one with the 2 510's,620.210 goon

lookn good man

Thanks Adam. I would mention more of what we recently got our hands on, but Zach told me to keep it quiet for now. lololol

I think you may have already saw them anyways.

Yeah, we were in a hurry at first, but we've decided to take our time now.

The dash was cleaned with a special formuler.

Very neat.

Thats right. Its up now

Back to this build

Picked up some rust prevention stuff called Zero Rust. so today I spent some time sanding the remaining parts of the body to metal and coating it with this.
I should mention, I ended up buying 2 69 dashes around the time of getting my wagon. So between the two I was able to make one decent dash. Even has a clock. So now on to finishing sealing then on to suspension. I have a l20 that needs rebuilding, so hopefully this all can get moving a little faster now!

lol i always forget what this is until it gets bumped... Long project is long

Glad its coming back together tho.

Ohhh yeah, I always get distracted. Should move faster for a while hopefully

The fact this car is being built at all it amazing.
The story behind the shell, and then gathering each and every peice.
Truly BUILDING a datsun. In a verry johny cash sort of way.

What Redbanner said

Awesome stuff ,happening right here

I just have to finish what I started! haha

So both rear fenders have damage/dents/warped. trying to consider my options here. Flares if they are cheaper than repairing the dents?

"the big stuff is stuck out inside my buddy's mobile home" I'd say Johnny gets it....

Use my dent puller. Just buy the studs and you'll have it fixed for like $10.

If you want, I can help you with it some time.. let me know. I gotta see the progress in person. Plus, we gotta talk parts.
