Yup! I once bought a 1965 Datsun 410 (no not a typo). It was a four door sedan, and it had an MGB 1800 engine mated to the origional Datsun non-syncro gear box! Crazy! I only bought it cause it was a good deal...buy the way, anybody need parts?

I'm planning on coming, driving from Vancouver, British Columbia. We'll be leaving on Friday night after work. Should be a fun drive? I've only driven as far south as Redmond Washington, so we're looking forward to the great unknown.

Right on! I get to meet 'The Guy"!
Yes, the tires do hit the wheel openings-quite hard on the front. The pics on the www. were the "before" shots. I had to cut wedge shaped pieces from the front of the(fiberglass) fenders so there was clearance enough for steering. I'm gonna have to put some flares on the front though-pretty hard contact over bumps and hard braking... no biggie.
As far as the strut brace-me and a buddy fabbed it at his shop. It's 6061 aluminum with threaded ends with brass pipe plugs. Took about 4 hours all said and done.
I wanted something that looked like it was strong.Probably a little overkill, but what the heck?
I added the cage to the car for stiffness-it's only a four point. Looks cool too. I built the car for the street mainly-but it'll probably find it's way to the dragstrip sometime soon.

Actually, the whole reason I took her out for the shakedown run was to get it prepared for the Blue lake meet!
I'm helping a buddy of mine with 320 and 610 pick-ups so he can travel with me too.
I'm really looking forward to meeting up with some of the members of the site and talk to some 1200 guys.
Hey dd, you gonna be there?

Yesterday was the maiden voyage in my "refurbished" rig. The only time I drove it in the past 3 years was on the chassis dyno this past January!
Verdict-goes like stink! Hauls ass! Lots of fun.
Ask the dude in the Firebird how quick she is(ALL THEY SAW WERE 1200 TAIL LIGHTS BABY!)
My girlfriend-Saint Gina, thinks it's the coolest-and that's what matters most to me-finally something to show for all those long nights/weekends in th garage!
Check out my www. for some more recent pics!

Thanks again, you're the man ddgonzal! Oh btw-I went for a ride in a *mint* 1967 Mustang today- first time. No smoke or rust though...

I've gone looking quite extensively for the elusive Stanza struts. No dice. By the looks though, the Stanza/b310 are the same donkeys. I'll look into the 300 ones, but I've already done a bunch of work to get these ones in so it would be cool to just keep what's already there.
Will the Hilux ones work with solid discs?
Dd, will 510 calipers bolt on?
I'll measure the center of the holes in the meantime on my struts....

i'm having a bit of a hard time finding new/rebuilt calipers to fit the b310 struts in my car. I went to the local NAPA, and they only had one listing for them, but when the box was opened, there was only the caliper part, no frame, and they were wrong! Yow. They looked to me to be for a 1200 strut(different bolt spacing).
So, my question is-is there anything that will bolt on and work with the solid discs?
I've tried the Volvo 4 piston ones from a 240dl wagon-they bolt on fine, but have funky European flares, and two lines-they're goin' on the dune buggy anyways.
Thanks for any info anyone may have.

It's very important to resurface the flywheel-I've seen guys do it with a lathe- but it's difficult to get the hard heat marks out unless you get it machined on a flywheel grinder. I agree with the cleaner the better when putting it all back together, and checking the seals too.

Sorry wubbits+dd, didn't mean to ruffle any feathers!
I'm biased though, I too got outrun by some Mustangs in my day-very frustrating indeed! My poor old Chevys feelings got hurt and mine too. Thats why it's always good to hear a story now and then of the little guy who done good.
