  1. There is a good chance that I would take you up on that. Let's see what the seller says. I would do nothing but preserve it..... back to the way it was......
  2. Car shit the clutch all over the track on the 1st pass. I continued to run it...... best time was a 12.054 @100...... disappointing to say the least. I had no traction as I went on my street tires ( Nitto NT05 315/35/17). I did nothing but spin the whole way. 1 photo is of my car at TX2k16 with DE MeanZ..... I only made it 1 day. Ordered a new clutch McLeod RXT Ordered a few mufflers Xforce with remote valves on them to wither be quiet or dump the exhaust. I am on the verge of ordering a Tecnocraft T5 seat for the car I can only afford 1 at a time so the second one will be a bit. I have a set of 275/50/15 Mickey Thompson ET Street R tires waiting for a set of wheels, I am going to go with a set of RaceStar wheels for the mean time. I can't justify spending cash on another set of 15" CCW wheels for the rear.More in the works but I want to see what it will do with a tire and a clutch......
  3. I sourced another pair of headlight covers from Japan.... I will have another Datsun to build that I would be interested in buying if this ever got off the ground.
  4. I have just ordered at Tecnocraft T5 for my car. I was going to do the T2 XL but this will give me 1/2" more. ( I am 5'11" 220)
  5. I would do all prep and rust cleaning now. Rather than waiting, you don't know how the weather/humidity/climate will effect the car over time. I know it has lasted this long but I would hate to see it spread unknowingly while you have it locked up.
  6. I have gone to LED projectors on all of my personal cars. My Instagram account is linked in my signature. I have photos in there.
  7. LOL, you old dirty bastard...... you know you have a love affair with these cars. Good looking find. Too bad the idiot who primed the car didn't have the where with all to prep or cover anything..... would have been cool to rock the original paint with some patina....... I just so happen to have another LS block sitting waiting for another Datsun...... ( of which I have found 2 in a package deal.... ) looks like we will be in the same boat soon..... Good luck on this new endeavor.
  8. Mark, I am in Austin working this week. Is there any chance I could see your build in person?
  9. lol same with me. I am bringing a pop up, a chair and a cooler..... ( just in case)
  10. I used the factory boot and covered it with a leather boot to the consle
  11. I will be there at tx2k as well. If Mike needs help I will do so. I plan on bringing my car to the event but I am not competing. If it has the possibility to rain I will be in my truck.
  12. If they offered them in a flat lip I would consider as I want a 2nd set of wheels for the car for shows. I have a set of weld 15" wheels on their way for the strip and highways.....
  13. Well with over 600 on tap right now and more on the way I think I have a fighting chance....
  14. I am going to go for the 200mph club in my 240...... I need all the aero help I can get. I just bought wheels (15"x8") buying tires in the next couple days 275/50/15 to help........ a splitter and belly pan are essential in my eyes....
  15. PSSSSTTT, Fritts lives just down the road from you......( literally)
  16. Way to step it up Rossman. I sold my Lightspeed and my Trek Fuel..... no more bikes for me....all cars and car parts.....
  17. It has been hard seeing that you guys lost a good friend and brother " from another mother" I haven't said anything because I know the feelings all too well myself. All I can say is that as time goes on you will still continue to think about him, it will get better but it will take time.
  18. Lightened crank would do wonders........ maybe even a billet one.........
  19. Having fun driving it. I have posted some vids on my IG as well as on the v8datsun page on facebook .
  20. @zeeboost she holds her own. I haven't really stressed about any cars yet.... for some reason no one wants to mess with me when the hood is off..... lol
  21. Still so much left to do on my car.... A/C Electric assist power steering Complete the interior New paint job as the current color is just a vinyl coating. I am also considering buying a new set of wheels.
