The roll-back dropped the 66 off at my house,while I was in Sacramento yesterday.I got home late last night and didn"t get to look at it very close until this morning.Does any one from the old forum remember the post"welcome to datsun hell"? This poor thing is frighteningly close to that poor old 320 that guy was trying to save.I did happen to notice the simalarities between the 520-521(front clip only,it seems-and dash) So,as soon as I lose this cast,I"ll start on my 520-521 hybrid(couple of weeks left ,I better get a digi-cam for this one!)

Front clip isn't the same- different hood, grille, fenders. Doors are the same though.

Different core support and inner fenderwells,too.looks like it"s sawsall time.Now,if it would just STOP RAINING,I would st... nope,I"m building the garage/shop first,before I get head long into this project.I should have the 66 running before BLEACH finishes his fair lady!
 Then again,with my son,and all of his friends suddenly taking an interest in datsun pickups,I"ll probably be too busy helping them get their rides together to even think about my 66. Then there"s my daughter,16 next year,who wanted my 620(okla.) I guess I"ll have the 520 running in about-my youngest is 11,that gives me about Tom S.
