Ryan Family 510 Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 This is my first post, hope I am in the right forum. Just bought a 1969 510 for my twin boys. It was my first car in 1983!!! Since it is basically a shell with an engine and trans I'll be asking many questions along the way. It goes to sand (Media Blasting) on the 31st and then to get primered! My boys are 14 1/2 so I have 18 months to pull this off!! Wish me luck. Ryan Family 510 2 Quote Link to comment

Ryan Family 510 Posted January 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Roger, got it. pics will be on the way. Naked 510 coming soon. Or maybe not, I read the rules and porno is not allowed. I'll cover the front and rear with something before i post the naked pics of it. Quote Link to comment
Busta Nut Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 The term porno is used loosely around here..... 2 Quote Link to comment

Cpl620 Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Welcome. Sounds like it will be a good project. People seem to put a lot of effort in to things that are gifts. We look forward to it. Quote Link to comment
r0p0doe Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 What are your plans for it? Keeping it in stock form, restomod.... Quote Link to comment
Ryan Family 510 Posted January 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 see the simley face and the image under it. But it does not seem to work for me. Putting the 510 back together is one thingthat I can handle,.....trying to post a picture on this forum.......well, we shall see if I am smart enough for that. Quote Link to comment
Ryan Family 510 Posted January 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 RO510, Our plans are to non-stock it. It came with a 1.6 in it and a 2.0 on the side. We plan on putting the 2.0 in it. The rear fenders have been -, for lack of a better word, f'd up. Not sure if someone tried to put BRE flares on it or what the plan was but to get them back to stock is really not an option unless I want to spend more $$$. I'm looking for a 5-speed. Plan on painting it VooDo0 blue. So i guess to answer yoour question, it will not be stock. Back in 1983-199-whatever, we put a 1.8 in mine and a 5 speed. But here is the problem, This car is for my twin boys. They are only 14 1/2. I want them to have a classic fun car, but then again....I remember what I did with my 510 when I was 16. glad I am still alive to send this post!!! If you know what I mean. So as much as I want to go crazy on the performance, I have to be a Dad at the same time. So we will see. Quote Link to comment
willz Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 maybe you should make it a point to install a roll cage ;) Quote Link to comment
Ryan Family 510 Posted January 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 willz, Maybe I will just send my pics to you to post. Seems like you got that figured out! Thanks!! Kevin Quote Link to comment

datrod Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Roll cage, yes, good point!!! Unless your going to buy both boys a new helmet don't do a cage. A rear bar over the back of the seat will be fine, But a cage is not a good idea for a street car. And Welcome to Ratsun. 1 Quote Link to comment
