  1. I sent an PM to the guy in Georgia but no answer yet. Going slow and taking my time. Cheers
  2. Thanks everyone for the encouragement. I have been searching the inter webs to see what people are doing. Have seen cars in far worse shape than mine brought back. This is a long term build and will be taking my time. What i can't do, I am lucky to have friends in The Reno area that can help me. Going slow right now on the tear down, cataloging all parts and pieces. The floor pans and trunk are expected as was the rockers, its the front clip and fender area that I wasn't expecting to see so far gone, but oh well.
  3. How much rust is too much? Spent a half day today really getting into things. Worse than I thought. The car was free to me and has sentimental value, so want to get it stripped down and media blasted to really see whats usable. Looking for information on how far I can go on replacing stuff? Ideas? Thganks
  4. So a little update , got to spend a couple hours cleaning all the broken glass and debris out. Getting a better look at the rust. Spraying all the hard ware with penetrating lubricant. Going to start stripping down all the easy stuff. Big project, but Glad to have it in the driveway finally. Cheers all!
  5. Hello everyone This is my new project. 71 2 door. My Dad bought this back in the mid 90's for a parts car or another race car,when we were racing SCCA ITC with our main car. Long story short, We stopped racing , sold the race car. This has been sitting on my family's property since then. My dad passed away a couple years ago and the family asked me what I wanted to do. So here we are , Its in my driveway now. Long term build for sure. Has all the rust issues, so have to sort that out first. No engine or trans, so thats good. It will be a complete tear down and rebuild. I will post more pics as I take them of the teardown. It needs floor boards and rockers for sure, been looking into replacement stuff. Don't want to re-invent the wheel here, there seems to be lots of good stuff out there these days. If anyone has a place to get replacement floorboards let me know. I see FutoFab has rockers and some other stuff. Shot out windows and bullet hole in the side thanks to my cousins. Cheers all!
  6. Hello everyone I would like to attend the April 4th Reno meet. Would be in my 2005 Frontier as my 510 project is still on a family farm in Nor-Cal. I have lot of questions and would like to meet the local 510 peeps. Cheers all!
  7. New here, Used to race a 510. Getting back into building a car. Need some help posting pics. On a new Mac running safari, cant seem to be able to get it done. Any help would be great. Thanks
