blueovalz Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 I'm hoping I can show the back side of the car when needed (even with a little ol' 289) every now and then. Tonight I finally assembled all the rear end stuff. I clear-coated the aluminum rings around the exhaust outlets (which are SS), took a silver Sharpee (used to write on dark materials) and high-lighted the vanes on the rear vent because the flat black just didn't show there was anything inside the framework, and installed the rear pan. The vertical stripe sure makes the car look taller than it did in the monotone primer color (from the rear point of view) BTW, I truely appreciate all the very nice comments on the car. I hope this will drive some of you guys, on the verge of creating their own work of art, over the edge, to "just do it". Anyway enjoy the photos, and again thanks for the advice given during the past years on the directions I took leading up to this moment. Now to enjoy a couple of shows.

Tim240z Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Hey Terry...nice arse!! ?: Did you consider carrying the stripes through the grey panel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datsunlover Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Wow.. awsome man! And Im with tim.. I think the stripes would go nice through the tail light panel (which is also quite nice btw!) Some day when I have a proper shop to work in, I WILL do something like this.. for now, I'll have to live with my quick $200 paint job and *ahem* not so great body work.. Keep up the good work dude!

blueovalz Posted August 13, 2004 Author Share Posted August 13, 2004 Yeah Tim, I did consider this, but as I got further into the scheme, I felt it was better to break the line up by the panel. I was concerned that the line going through the panel (and the vent frame), though it's competition look would have been undeniable, would have given the car too much of a "toy" appearance, and I was looking to keep that characteristic toned down just a tiny bit (does that make any sense?)

Tim240z Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Perfectly....just wondering if you tried it and had some pics for compo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 ok im sure other people are thinking this, even some saying this, but... your car makes me sometimes want to give up Z's. you built the MOST BADASS S30 Z ever. ive never seen a Z that just looks cooler, meaner, faster, crazier, badder then your Z. i could NEVER make any of my Z's look half as cool as yours. and if i did, it would have to be done by somebody. and that right there makes your car even cooler!!! you built it, designed it, painted it and all, and that blows my mind! man i wish one day i can do something like that, wow lost for words. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest quadcamZ Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 That is beautiful. you and dan deffinatley show it can be done if you work at it no matter what it is. I am tempted to get another project and start again on a long haul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueovalz Posted August 13, 2004 Author Share Posted August 13, 2004 man i wish one day i can do something like that You can! I started out knowing nothing about any of this stuff. My first car was a '72 Pinto, and I did a really lousy job with the touch-up paint. Put a Holley 390 on it and then wrecked it. Inspiration and persperation are 90% of the end result. You say, "I want to do.....", and then you do it. Never give up. Never give up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
innerware Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 It would be a little humbling to get passed on the highway by such a beautiful car especialy with "antique plates" Those plates look good on model t's ect. A little old school for such a modern looking beauty. Nice job!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
