Progress on rust repairs

Nice! I see your body shop uses a high resolution camera, so you can see lots of detail. Wish mine did! Any idea when the body will be done?

OOPS! I looked back at the rest of the thread! Your car looks fantastic, I hope to see it and you next year, maybe at Datsun meet in Kelowna .

 When the clutch locked up with a metal fan on my 71. The engine sounded like it had a aircraft prop. under the hood. It also robbed the engine of a bunch of power but no flying things. I'm not a big fan of the original clutch. I've never found two that spin alike.There was a noticeable difference when I took mine off. The engine revved quicker.

 If I remember correctly, Carl was referring to metal flex-fans self destructing. When my original fan clutch seized, I replaced it with a metal flex-fan and ran it hard for another 15+ years with no problem. Maybe I got lucky.The f-fans decrease parasitic HP loss because they flatten at speed and don't pull any air. The cooling system doesn't need a fan If the car is moving over 10-15mph.
