Datsun 510 Lemons and ChumpCar racer

Post by Tullamore »

I just thought I would share the Datsun 510 we are building for this season's 24 Hours of Lemons and ChumpCar races.

Mostly stock with a weber carb, we are replacing the shocks and putting in poly bushings, new clutch, brake/clutch masters, starter, and alternator but not much else other than gutting it and installing the safety items.

The design is based on the current line of Datsun 510 Hot Wheels cars

That is awesome! I have a few of those hot wheels in different colors. Just make sure you don't run the same plastic wheels, LOL!

We even have a front splitter that is the same shape as the one on the hot wheels. I guess we will have to go get some chrome paint for it before we put it on.
