Our 510 (Betty) moved today under her own power... WOO!

I started on this car about a year ago, and it's pretty close to done. Lots of tweaking / tuning / adjustments left to do, but it felt good to get her off the jackstands and go around the block a couple times. :)

Here's the build thread - Guess I should get to updating it! 1968 Datsun 510 Restoration

'Sup Betty?

Quite possibly - alignment will be last on the list. :)

Yeah, I just went through the build thread and now I'm looking for more ;)

It's good to see that after all that sweat that has been shed on restoring Betty, it has basically paid off... I just have to say "I love" how it's looks and after everything it's done, just enjoy the fruit of your hard work.

Damn, that's a sexy dime. I have been following the build thread over the past year. Looking good and close to being done.

Understood, but you may want to adjust that a bit before driving it much :crazy:

Nope - It's been on jackstands, our lift, or a set of casters for the past year during the build.

Thanks guys. Been busting on it to get the details done and sorted. Building the car is the easy part... Making a hodgepodge of parts play nice and perform well in real world usage is the tedious, challenging part.
