I just started working on an MPC Datsun pickup kit. I got it in a trade with Eric Jones a while back. Photos of the kit and how I got it. And my plan is to re build it like some one have owned it in the late '70's to mid '80's? I'm taking the camper top from the Datsun step side Express-O kit for this build. This is how it sets right now. Not sure if I'm going to use the custom wheels & tires or go with the stock ones? Thanks for looking.......

Wagon wheels.
No question about it.
No self-respecting truck from that era would be seen in public without those white-spoke "wagon" wheels!

No plans to make the build session. I have a bunch I need to paint and may do some today. I am pretty much home all weekend so if you swing by I should be home. Call first to make sure.

I went over to Raoul's house today and picked up the wagon wheels for the Datsun! And checked out a lot of his cool projects he is working on. And there are a lot of them!!! I'm stripping the chrome from the wheels and will be painting them white.
