I've owned 24 510s so far, so I come by the name honestly.

24 ? that's gotta be some kind of record.

You're not a Datsun Freak, your a dealership.

Also, compared to my friend Marty, I'm a lightweight.

Is it really a hijack if the thread starter is okay with it?

Carbs will be coming off this weekend and being shipped off to Pistol Pete for a freshening. While I'm waiting on that to be done, I'm going to replace the timing belts and check the valve clearance.

Had a few minutes today and did this...




Picked up a spare front fender from a local 'winger that was pretty badly bent in the rear. Straightened it a bit, cut the "mud flap" off, and trimmed the rear edge to mirror the shape of the front. Made a card stock template of the curve on the front and used it to scribe the back. After some fun with a Dremel, the fender is symmetrical front to back now.

Gonna pop it on tomorrow. If I like it, I'll paint (or powdercoat) it black. I think it came out pretty good, and I'll still have the pristine original fender if I ever want to change it back.
