Took the Datsun shop truck out earlier this summer while my little brother was in town with his drone and camera.  Just wanted to get some videos and do some burnouts... Did one too many I guess!  This was the stock Datsun rear end so it was only a matter of time before it let go... Time to start saving up for a Ford 9"!!

 

Leather Hood Scoop Cover

Little leather hood scoop cover I made for the truck last summer!

    

 

Shop Truck Interior - 74 Datsun 620

Couple shots of the interior of the Datsun shop truck.  Got a couple vital gauges installed in the stock dash, laid down some German square weave carpet, and made some leather kick panels for the corners.  Still need to pull the bench seat and rework that.  Hopefully this spring I can get to that!

 

Datsun 620 Interior

Got some time the past couple of days to get a shifter boot made for the Datsun.  Starting to get all the heat and sound deadening installed.  Needed to close off this hole in order to start sealing up the cab from the outside. 

Been working on this beast a little here and there lately... coming along!

Datsun 620 v8

Got a little work done on the scoop and the hood.  Just need to start welding now!

Datsun Progress!

Got the shop truck back from Travis over at Rhode Alliance Customs!  Got started doing my damage to it!  Got the air cleaner mounted... time to cut the hood!

Datsun 620 V8!

Travis at Rhode Alliance Customs is jammin on my truck!  Few more weeks and I should have it back at my shop to finish up and get running!

Datsun SBC V8

Started to tear down the stock L18 in the Datsun to get the engine bay and transmission tunnel ready to stuff a 350 V8 into...   Have alot of work ahead... but the goal is to do a burnout before winter...

Some of the damage from when the truck was stolen....

Weekend Work

Blasted out some stuff this weekend... Finished up a set of wheel spacers for a buddys Ironhead Chopper.  Got all the last bits of the KZ750 twin 1-2 intake manifolds sorted and they are ready to put in the store.

Wrenched on the shovelhead some more... Did some more timing tuning and carb tuning on it.  Still need to change to a hotter plug and maybe go down a size on the main jet... After that it should be ready to rip all summer... Hopefully it makes it to the winter so i can tear it down proper...

I also got the bmw r60 into the studio and got some great shots of it... Stay tuned for the photo set when its finished...

Oxford Massachusetts Swap Meet

Finished the spacer i needed for the idler gear assembly this weekend... Took it up to Oxford Mass for the swap meet.  It rode much smoother but i still have a stumble when the throttle is first cracked... Once its at speed though it way smoother than before...

I also finally got the 350 thats going into the datsun out of the back of the van...
