Made that, 1" dia Oak dowel with a hole drilled in the center and a threaded metal insert epoxied inside. I made it on a lathe but it could easily be made on a drill press too.

I know I know, I should just keep her and enjoy it. But I'm not a collector and I'm hankering for a new project. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1973-datsun-510-6/ Edited September 21, 2021 by grannyknot 6 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/63170-the-blue-510/?page=13#findComment-628796 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Head Posted September 21, 2021 Share #151 Posted September 21, 2021 Good luck. I predict a big number. Nice driving video, I think I saw a 56 Chevy. That's a good sign! 1 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/63170-the-blue-510/?page=13#findComment-628808 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Namerow Posted September 21, 2021 Share #152 Posted September 21, 2021 You did a great job with that build, Chris. We all knew that you could cut and weld, but the paint job that you pulled off on the 510 in that small garage was truly impressive. It will be interesting to see what kind of price it brings. As they say on BaT, 'GLWTS'. For your next project... ??? 2 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/63170-the-blue-510/?page=13#findComment-628809 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might strip the ///MZ down to the metal and do the paint properly this time, I was happy with it when it was first done and it has only been a few years and it is already showing flaws from poor prep.
