The 510 Realm

took some friends and their jeeps up to the mines today. there was no real snow to speak of there was however a lot of ice. it was like driving on a glacier. 6inches of rust was leading the pack till i tore a cam off one of my chains. stopped on the last hill of ice a hundred feet from the top a car...

coveralls cowl mask with new cartridges are the minimum requirements for superheroes . fresh air with a full hood would be nice but i don't have the resources that Mr freeze has. when spraying the wagon i got dosed with m.e.ks, they went in through my eyes. I didn't feel right for days. i learned my...

with the engine bay slowly becoming void of paint, I must visit what paint system im going to use. I would like the finished car to have as close to stock color appearance as possible. not being happy with the finish and skill level required for the single stage paint I used on my wagon, I was think...

dont feel too bad about flipping the hood. I have three stupid stamps from flipping the hood on my green 68 and its was always in second and no matter how fast you hit the brakes you cant stop it from rising once its starts. its now a compulsion to pull on the hood of any vehicle before driving away.

Good progress, if you had 440, you could hook up my compressor and give 'er bullets!

440...I dream of 220, as it is I have to turn my lights off to run a compressor. ever try painting in the dark?

last night I pulled the L20b supporting a blown hg, and striped the bay. I only broke one horn bolt so that was nice, then poked around a bit with a razor blade. Im happy to report that the por15 is comming off nicely with a razor. im very thankful I did a shat job with the prep work :wink: http://i...

(hour 3)yesterday I got the hood, fenders, grill, lights, rad and such off the car in preparation for the motor pull. I'm going to be swapping the downdraft for a pair of sidedrafts with 34mm chokes on a goose neck cannon intake. with three inches to spare between the carbs and brake master there sh...

its finally time to start reworking my first 510, a 1968 Canadian 4dr that still had plastic on the doors stock seats and a 1600(that now lives in my wagon). it was the first in a long line of datsuns bought from Jason and out of the nine dimes Ive owned it is my favorite. http://i1158.photobucket.c...

things like this make me very grateful that my dimes are parked in a gated compound surrounded by a mote, patrolled by dogs, monitored by cameras and backed up by a short lady with a frightening disposition. you can pick up wild life motion activated cameras for under $50 set it up by the tent and p...

A bit of winter maintenance was needed she was pulling hard to the right. I thought maybe a isolator in the rear had squished out. pulled the springs and inspected every thing checked out fine so i moved on to the front with some 30w bellray oil and new O rings in hand. what I found was shocking. :s...

I can count twelve 510s on my block alone the epicenter is close

Mandy and I will be there, looking forward to it

it hasn't been 12 hours since I singed on the line and probably because the car still sits in the stall that I'm suffering from the sellers remorse. I tell myself "I did it for space" and that the funds will bolt on to others that I make. I may not have fit "but the cage could have be...

I wish my rally car got this much attention

looks way more like a celica than a 510 nissan should sell it to toyota and cut their losses
