Greetings to all the new and returning visitors -
I have been digging into the C10 and the Z car and you can scroll through and see whats happening !
I will make it a point to insert the newest images first so you dont have to scroll through some you may have already seen - Remember though if you want to see where I started you will need to scroll through to the end which is really the start - go figure !
Cheers Tony
1964 Big Window Short Bed Wideside C10
Hello to all you car guys and girls around the world and welcome to the Projects section and my 64 C10 progress !
No new pics this week for my 64 C10 because it is just little detail stuff under the hood like the coolant recovery system , securing the radiator , Setting up the IAC in my engine management system and I am going to install the rear crossover tube for the cooling system next week . rear head temp is slightly higher so that should help . I also installed a pair of 1450 cfm Derale fans and they are really awesome . I will get some pics for you after I do the rear tube set up
Stay tuned for the craziness / Tony
Z Car is below for you to scope out !
1970 Datsun 240Z / Series 1
Hello again to al the new and returning visitors - glad to have you stop by for a visit / You can scroll through to see the progress and latest images !
So this week I dug into the fuel system first and drained the really nice tank someone else had installed and removed the sender and of course new premium fuel and connections for the sender and it works great !
I went through the carbs completely since they were pretty trashed inside with dirt and such . I got them set up and reinstalled , synched and they work super nicely . The Hitachi SU carbs are pretty nice units .
I moved onto draining the old oil and of course new filter and refill with 10/30 . I also polished out the valve cover and installed a new gasket and got it back on . I only did a hand polish since I want it to blend nicely with the rest of the engine bay .
New NGK Iridium plugs and wire set and let me tell you she runs like a sweet little Z car should .
As I continue to progress I will add more pics and details for you to check out !
Talk to you soon Tony
Check out my KZ1000 LTD below
1978 KAWASAKI KZ1000 LTD
This is the bike right off of the trailer in the first 2 pics with 20k original miles and as you can see it is a real cherry unit !.
So as you scroll through you can see the bike with my personal mods done. My goal was a cleaner more streamlined look for the LTD .
I did the Sport bike handle bar conversion with correct clutch and throttle cables and grips / front turn signal swap to headlight bucket with F/R shorter signal stems / 1 inch front drop with new adjustable kick stand / My custom leather seat / removal of grab bar / redo all red stripe on body / new reverse megaphone muffler / oil and filter change / chain adjustment and more of course !
The bike is super clean top to bottom and runs rally nicely - Smooooth and powerful !
Lets see what bike I get next - stay tuned !
Tony
