    Yeah, my thought was welded chambers and grind to shape

    Provide some pictures
  3. It's 20k already 6 days to go. It might make reserve...

    I couldn't find him with Google. Do you have a link or better contact info?

    I believe that is the best argument for SS bumpers. Humid or salty environment. For me I could probably do either and they would last the rest of my life...

    I think if I had my option I would go with hard chrome. I have the SS vietnam bumpers but they haven't been installed yet, but the SS is soft and damages easily. I believe the hard chrome would hold up better
  7. Is that actually Richard Kiel? The video must be a little older. He died in 2014.
  8. Why would you strip to bare metal? I am not sure it's always the best course of action...

    The only problem with use Webers is you can really mess up the body and small ports if you crank the idle screws down... Hard to know until you try to tune them or if the screw tip shows in the throttle bore
  10. I can't think of a need to remove it. If you need to peel it slightly at the glass edges for masking, so be it. If it tears some there it will be unnoticeable under the weatherstripping

    Yes level
  12. Chromabase is good base coat

    That looks like a clutch disc that wasn't centered. They couldn't get the tranny to mate up so they used a bolt to pull it together. The damaged probably didn't affect anything

    Stock EFI is not very tolerant of changes!
  15. Put it in the resource section

    I might have to keep a car like that in the family if its shared so much history. Insure it properly and drive it. You'll have more opportunities soon...
  17. I think the wheels should have graphite centers If you do a proper air dam like a couple of your pictures then silver If you do a BRE spook the graphite is ok The spoiler is silver if the airdam is; graphite if the spook is graphite

    Try not to create multiple threads. It becomes confusing

    I have seen rare cases on other vehicles where they are a ?/32nd size. I think it was done to make them smaller for the desired location. I have enough SAE wrenches to come up with something that fits

    Thanks for your service!

    He's got flat tops on the first one!
  22. Would a Wide band help in determining this? It seems if you can get the idle leaned up properly the Hcarb output would go down

    I think you will get the best results if you go ahead and pull some of the loose ends together. I would think putting the best dash in and getting the best transmission in would go a long way. I think many of the current buyers that have cash arent into working on their cars as much as some of the longer term Datsun people are

    I agree check the valve train first. Make sure all the valves have some lash
  25. There is some bracketry inside the tank so you will need to avoid those pieces. I think if I were going to cut on the top side. I would make a fairly big access hole. Doesn't matter to me if I weld a 6" patch back in or a 12' patch. It's about the same difference...
