One of my other projects.

Well for the last few weeks i really have been on here much. Ive been working on my 1978 Datsun 620 truck. Ive still got a long ways to go on it too.

Heres a link to my postings about it over on a forum for Datsuns. My '78 620 Rebuild of a daily driver. - Ratsun Forum


Does anyone else on here do car work?

Nice pictures. I tried using bondo once and it didn't turn out a 1/5th as nice as your work, and it was over some small areas only. I know someone who took his vintage pickup truck apart and put it back together. He had it in envelopes. Your picture reminded me of that.

Is that a wind generator in the background or a water pump?

Trust me the bondo didn't start out that great. Ive done some boat building and one of my things was fairing, so that applies here.

As for the windmill, thats one of my granddads projects. I think a 1926 Aeromotor. It used to be 65' high before Hugo took it down in '89. Its only about 25' now. Doesn't really do anything, just spins.
