We have been busy doing body work and getting ready for paint. Shot the primer last week. Then painted under the hood and inside the car. Went with voodoo blue.

The car is going to used on the track. It will be street legal but not for daily driving. Their are some organizations that only allow a fuel cell for their track events. Also I don't have an original gas tank.

Getting the brake calipers ready to ship. I am going to send them to get rebuilt. I am hoping they can clean up the outside also. The AP brakes are aluminum.

It wont fit in the factory location. The spare tire well is going to be removed. Then a new thick piece of sheet metal welded in. Then it will be cut for a 16 gallon cell. It will look like this. I may not plumb it to the side fill location like the orange car in the picture. I am not sure if that is legal in all racing and autocross organizations. Some of them require the fuel cell to be covered.

I wasn't sure where to post this. But since I am going with an RB25 I decided to post it here. I bought a 1971 sock 240z shell and a 1971 that used to be a race car. Then I swapped the coil overs and the AP racing disc brakes into the stock car. I have sold the race car and have started doing the roll cage. I should also have the fuel cell in soon. I am really excited about the RB25. I am constantly watching videos and reading about it. The car will be street legal but defiantly be able to handle some track days.
