Alignment, Corner Weighting, and First Drive
I have never driven my car farther than in and out of my trailer. I ran it thought the gears on stands, but nothing beyond that. My goal this year was to make it to The Old School Reunion 2024 . I made an appointment a couple months ago to get my car into AR Motorsports to get the suspension set up ...

Hardest thing I have done so far; AKA drilled holes for mirrors
I like a 'balanced' car so I always wanted a passenger mirror. Since stock tall stalk matching LH and RH mirrors are super rare, I found a pair of chrome 210/620/Sunny mirrors on Yahoo Japan. They were only a dumb price and not a totally ridiculously stupid price :shock: . I know these mirrors are '...

Re: Stu's 1972 4 Door
I've been looking at ordering door panels from Tree-Ausawa as well, for the exact same reason. It looks like they do nice work, are you happy with the quality? Excellent job on the speaker installation! Thanks. I really like the door panels. They are the correct size with all the big holes cut and ...

Door Cards and Front Speaker Install
Way back, I built speaker mount plates for the front speakers in the doors. Once I picked out my speakers, I added additional threaded inserts (not shown) that fit the speakers. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AP1GczPr6dtcY9N4wljfX-JrZzYxCBzMEowFH4IFbNrXlKJZDJ7GoHmbKORbaAVfD58UK_iKSEiuqNVN3xu7n...

Re: Stu's 1972 4 Door
Thanks everyone for the kudos. I'm pretty happy with it and hope it stays looking tight and smooth. I've never done a console before so will see how it goes. Really nice work on that console, looks awesome. What did you use the cover the rear of it, is that a piece of ABS? How did you attach the shi...

Center Console
Original center consoles are expensive, hard to find, and would most likely not fit my modified tunnel. I drew up a center console with a small front pocket, a shift boot, seat heater switches, power port, and a couple of big cup holders. I have a friend with an NC router and we cut the top plate an...

Re: Am I in over my head? '70 2 door from scratch
I’m not a smoker but also was excited to clean up and ‘restore’ my rear ashtrays. Such a throwback. Mine mostly had gum in them. At least the kids who rode in the back weren’t smokers

Re: 72 Ultra Orange - Bucket List Restomod
How long is the harness to the ECU? Could it go under the passenger seat? Having mine on the firewall is not too visible but I would have mounted it under the glove box if I did not put all of my relays and fuses there. I’d hate to give up the glove box

Re: Am I in over my head? '70 2 door from scratch
Rush, when I did my cable I could not figure out how to re-dimple the housing so I used set screws: https://www.the510realm.com/viewtopic.p ... 93#p280593

Re: Stu's 1972 4 Door
Those clips are neat, never seen them. Progress! I saw them 'forever' ago while looking for something else at DAPS and grabbed them knowing that I would forget where I saw them Nice work as usual Stu. Gooned, I think Rush also used those clips on hers. I just did my second set of 2 door the rubber ...

510 outer window squeegee seals belts and trim refresh
My outer squeegee rubbers were hard, brittle and mostly missing. Since I have them off for paint, I freshened them up. I bought the full set of squeegees from Datsport. Since the metal strip that holds the rubber to the trim is stapled on, I bought clips and dispenser from Datsun & Auto Parts Su...
