Patcon

Interesting, it has stock pedals and rubber pads, but the brake pedal looks to be from an automatic car. I wonder if that was to facilitate some heel - toe work?

I am trying to document it so it can be found in the future when I or someone else needs one. Lot's of Toyota gears out there...

Searchtempest.com will do the same thing and has distances so you can customize it. The $1,500 car looks like a scam. I have a hard time believing it was legit unless someone laid eyes on it.

An impact driver would have just turned it off quicker. The steel bolts corrode into the aluminum badly and can be bear impossible to get out, even with heat. A good Tap & Die set is a must. I chase most fasteners if I can't assemble them by hand.

What single stage are you using? Metal flake or solid? What is the final color? Jeff's videos are really good. I would paint the under sides of the panels and let them flash around the edges and dry for a couple of days. Then prep the top of the panel and sand back to the edge. Then mask off the back side or the overspray will make it rough feeling. If you are shooting a flake paint, you will need to paint the car assembled the way Jeff is doing it or the panels will look like different colors when the flake orients in different directions. You may need to let the panels dry for a week if the paint cures slowly. I have turned over panels after a couple of days before and had them stick to the stand, which is really frustrating! Have you shot some paint on a test card yet? The paint will look different over different base colors.

You can buy the whole car in fiberglass $10,500. Out of Florida

So you used a Toyota gear to repair your Datsun 5 speed? What was the Toyota gear from? Part number?

Wow!!! You went shopping!

I don't really ever use the super heavy duty loctites for anything. If I want it permanent, I do it another way. For a lokar cable, you can reuse the factory pedal

It's got a good bit of angle to it and it seems like the hook could bind because of that. The longer linkage shaft wouldn't be as susceptible to binding. The offset distance is the same long shaft or short shaft but the angle is worse on the short shaft.

I wonder if that shaft is binding in the mounts because it is so short?

Jeff, like the soft edge tip!

That definitely sounds like college!

I would use tank sealing product. There are several to choose from: POR15, Red Kote, Caswell, Eastwood tank sealer

The low vin's are hard to pin a price down on. I would say it's worth half that, but who knows. It might bring 10k with the market the way it is now

Texas car in LA. It also has more than a little rust! Seems like a lot even for an early car, maybe not though. It is still a big project

That most likely means you have problems with your brakes. One circuit is probably not working. Are your stopping distances longer than you think they should be?

Is the pump fully submerged? If so then there is no concern on overheating a restricted pump. Just thoughts. It is quite the pump!

There are certain views of that car that I think are great. Like the side profile view. then things like the front view I don't really like. I also like the exhaust in the center and the wooden dash interior. That's a lot of money with 5 days to go. I would think it would get close to $1 mil

So your taking a 2" discharge and necking it down? To what size? Then adding air at the gun?

Do you have one? Many people are able to clean them up with CLR

I'm 6'5" and have no issues fitting in a 2 seat S30 car.

Bertram, TX I've been through there. My wife is from Fredericksburg. Great area!! Like others have said, you will be money and years ahead to buy the best car you can with the least amount of rust. Always remember with rust, there is at least 100% more rust than what ever you can see!

You have this crew confused with some other group!!!!!

I like the idea of the six speed behind an L series motor. I wonder how the shifter lines up with the stock shifter location?
