Home Built by Jeff Posted August 17, 2018 Author Share Posted August 17, 2018 This weeks job was to mount my seats to the car, but nothing ever goes smoothly, and there is always that last bit of rust... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollum Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Jeff says the cage makes it hard for tall people to fit? Shocker!? Jeff, if you haven't seen the Driven Daily S30 build, check it out on youtube. Jesse is a long time friend whom I met because of these forums, and he had a heck of a time designing a cage that works well for seat placement, and I think he's a couple inches shorter than you... That said, we all love the videos. Keep them coming! I know the videos help keep you on task and motivated, but they also help others stay motivated too. No Pressure....

Gollum Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I'd forgotten about that meetup! Thanks for the reminder of just how short Jesse is. By contrast I'm a hair under 6'. If I ever cage my 280z I think I'm going to have to cut into the B pillar to bury the main hoop as far out as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Home Built by Jeff Posted September 7, 2018 Author Share Posted September 7, 2018 This week I finally get the colour onto my 240z. It has almost been 12 months of work to get to this point, and it still has a long way to go, but it is great to reach this milestone.

Home Built by Jeff Posted September 14, 2018 Author Share Posted September 14, 2018 This week it is back to sanding and primer on the 680, but it all heads towards getting it ready for the final paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperZ Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 (edited) I understand why you call it the 680, but I think you should call it the 710, as that is the conversion of fluid ounces to milliliters....I like fluids, like beer. BTW, I REALLY like the the color, purists be damned. As a matter of fact I saw no negative comments about the color.

I think of ounces more as a measure of weight, but that is because we don't use them, so I have no idea. My brain just went to the converter on my phone and it cam out with 680 or 680g as I may call it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
