I haven't posted many pic's of the progress so here's a few & some of the items I've gone thru & reworked...







brand new hinges



I thought this was pretty cool - stock radiator w/new 3 tube core & electric fan from early 90's camry & a fan switch inset into bottom tank



A15 - .030 over, H72 oval port head, double springs, reground cam by Delta in Tacoma, WA., Cannon oval port manifold & DCOE 40, header, brass plugs





Rebuilt rearend assembly - 4.365 center, new axle bearings, brakes, all epoxy painted, new e-brake cables - pretty spiffy!!





Rebuilt 60A 5spd.



can of original Datsun Resin Glaze - which one of you fanatics wants to pay me millions for this???



All suspension, control arms, strut assemblies, etc.. painted & waiting..





dash pad/cap is getting done by a guy in Vancouver, I'm anxious to see how it turns out, should get it soon. I've lurked & posted here for a while, thought I'd show you what I'd been doing. Hopefully someday soon this will be roadable.

Evan

Evan,
Looking very good, what paint code are you using?

Kelly

Hey Kelmo, why do you care, aren't you an Infinity traitor now

hopefully will get actual paint on it soon ,the white is epoxy.

nice!, im liking the colour, looks like the shell wasn't too bad, im impressed at how many full rebuilds are on the go these days

good colour!, have you seen my project thread?, i have just sprayed an orange with gold pearl and am currently putting it all back together

No, I saw the white and thought you had come over to the white coupe side. I think I remember you talking about the orange when you started the project.
I may be an Infiniti traitor but the move gave me and extra day each week to work on my datto...bwahahahahaha (don't think I'll catch up to you tho, man you got some talent)

Edit: oh yea, dude your garage is way too clean

1200rallycar, I haven't seen your thread I'll have to take a look. BTW - the shell was awful, 3 new floor boards, trunk pan, rockers, quarter repairs, valance, corner straightening, rear apron cleanup, oh yeah roof was beat to s**t too. thats why this is taking so long.

My body & paint skills have all been earned on this project & my H1 motorcycle - all the mechanical has been finely honed over years of working on my own junk!

Garage is never clean enough, I wish I had a garage maid. I need to get this done as I may add another project to the space soon...

BTW - anyone know how to post a pic thats not a jpeg, I copied a pic into a .doc/.docx in a word doc & would like to post it, I dont have the original in jpeg thats why.

cut it from word and paste it into "paint" and then save as a jpeg again

good to hear you definately saved one from the scrap heap then!

Very nice dude. Cant you just right click on the image in the word doc go save image as and when it comes up with the box with file name and locatin drop down the bottom box that says file type and change it to jpeg. Rename the file to.

Evan nice work I'm jealous............my shell is rust free but thrashed.........filler in the roof, seams not the best etc but I'm busy driving it, so I have no idea when it could be apart for 6-8 months.
One more thing, can you tell more about the specs on your Delta Cam???

Tom

Tom ,the cam was a "KC" grind. I'll look up the spec's on the paperwork from the machine shop & post them. It's suppose to be a grind thats got a smooth idle but enough lift & duration to make it pretty responsive, not full on race w/lumpy popping idle. There's filler on my roof too, I spent a lot of time pounding out dents then metal shrinking it with a disc & then it got the filler & a few coats of Featherfill G2, its pretty close to perfect now. I still need to shoot the 2K primer & block it out.

Everytime I've tried to convert it to a jpeg then post the cut & paste feature when posting in the image icon doesn't work so I dont know whats going on with it. I will try converting again though.

What, doesn't anybody want my resin glaze, its gotta be worth a few thou.....its collectable!
