EricJB Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Here is a thread that should help build a fast 521. This is the fastest Lseries 521 that I know of. :) http://community.ratsun.net/topic/39329-project-drag-521/page-2?hl=race&do=findComment&comment=617523 I've been 100 mph many times in that rattletrap. Anymore than about 110, I would do a complete suspension/chassis upgrade. It starts dancing around a bit at 95mph. Sound like a cool project and quest. If I was closer, I would help out. Good luck. 2 Quote Link to comment
ATP Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 The only thing Datsun on this truck will be the body. Absolutely nothing else... I'll post pictures soon if the racecar. I can't seem to post them on my phone. Andrew 1 Quote Link to comment

ATP Posted April 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 So Datsun landspeed truck is progressing. We got another cab, another bed....basically another truck. We are using the frame from the original truck I bought, the cab and bed from the new truck and fenders and probably doors from the old one. And we have a hood from a completely different truck too. So far the frame was stripped and mostly cleaned so I can start building suspension and cage. Andrew 1 Quote Link to comment

datson4life Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Nice! 4 lug? Quote Link to comment
JakeWard Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Pretty sure he was just getting an idea for ride height vs tire height. Those were spares from another car (510) Quote Link to comment
ATP Posted April 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Yeah, Jake knows, this is just mockup. We are trying to figure out wheel and tire placement and ride height. Once we do that we will work on suspension and building the cage. But no it will not be 4 lug. Andrew Quote Link to comment
