jdmfan Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) I finished this datsun 510 up last night . This kit was a pain to build. Probabaly one of the worst kits ive worked with not much of the kit fit well . windows where in rough shape as you can see. Considering what it was it came out well i guess minus the windsheild .Ii scratch built the throtle bodies and wired up th motor and battery. I also did a tail light swap the tail lights that where in the kit where molded to the rear and you had to paint them on witch i thought would look crappy . So i took some tails from a 68 camaro and cut off one lense and molded them in. let me know what you think sorry if the pics are crappy they were taken from my iphone . somethings wrong with my digital camera Edited February 9, 2012 by jdmfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik Smith Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Very cool. That kit is pretty nice - although can have some issues. It is pretty amazing detail, though, when you consider all the other kits made in the early 1970s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Kucaba Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I think you did a fine job on building an older kit. I wasn't aware there were fit problems. (never built it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAone Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 it looks pretty cool. i agree with you on the fitment, it's bad. especially the windows. your window went on better than mind did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawnS Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Very cool. I love those big intake trumpets on the engine. I think the whole engine bay is detailed just right, not too much not too little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry P. Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I don't know what issues you had with that kit, never have seen the kit myself... but I'd say, judging from the photos, that you did just fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seeker589 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I really love these cars. I think they have the best proportions - and the racing heritage is pretty cool, too. Nice build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
