Phil Beitler's 521 pickup
My 7th Datsun....a 1971 521
pick up. |

essentially stock for now. I bought it last December from the original owner. It came
complete and unmolested but, it barely ran. But after renewing the extremely rusty gas
tank, replacing the fuel lines, rebuilding the fishbowl Hitachi carb, lunching the smog
crap, rebuilding the Flintstone braking system, and bending some new exhaust tubeage (no
muffler, just a resonator....it sounds kinda cool), she runs just fine for now. With the
little L16, it's not the quickest thing on the street, but it still gets allot of second
looks. Dropping it a few inches gave it the right stance for parking lot profiling. |
