GOTHALOSISM Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Ok I have to ask, whats on the jackstands in the Garage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camerashy Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Really nice piston. Do I spy a Skyline lurking in the garage or do my eyes deceive me with that headlamp bowl? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garvice Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Looking very nice. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piston Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) Camerashy, It would be nice if it was a skyline. It's my older bro's 73 Datsun 510. It's got a ka-t setup with a fully build bottom end. Garvice, thanks, working hard these past couple of days to get her done and hopefully register and on the road by March. Not much left besides bumpers and hood. Edited January 25, 2012 by piston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camerashy Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Nice! Just checked out the photos on the Toyota L6 thread, very nice indeed. Are they just stock 'zg' flares from MSA in fibreglass? Or something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piston Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 Flares from zcarparts. Their parts has a lot of scratches and nicks on them lately that I have been receiving. But it is not a ready to go on part so its ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piston Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 Looking at the picture of my unpainted hood makes me glad it's done with. I spent every weekend both Sat and Sun hammering, bondo, sanding over and over for 3 weekends. At least 20 different mixes of bondo total. It's hard work, but it pays off if your dedicated. Did you guys realize I painted in the backyard with nothing covering at 12pm in the afternoon! LOL Work fast and make sure it's right the first time. I got one tiny bug in it but it was sandable. Devil_s30, I don't have any pics of the projector mod since I didn't think I was really going to keep the look. Definitely too flashy for an old school look. What I did was buy a pair of Ebay cheapy headlights with clear glass and cut the back out so the projector housing will go in(the black round piece that holds the projector lense). Glue the housing in and install it back onto the lamp retainer ring. Next, cut as much as you can from the headlight adjustment housing(the one where the original wire runs through) in the back to clear the projector itself. That way you can still retain the stock adjustment screws to aim your new projector headlights. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voltron_boi Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 So, when can I visit the z, lol? Your z looks fabulous, makes me wanna spend more time on mine now.

piston Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) Some new pics on the street. I really like this shot on top. Installed the grill and shaved my skinny bumper. Will be shaving my rear bumper and paint/install this weekend. Here you can see a slight different in color compare the fender and the door. it was sprayed at different times with different batch of paint mixed by the same person who mixed me my paint. No metallic is always identical when mixed at different times and especially sprayed at different time laying down in different position, however the other side is dead on, lol. Hood is also off color a tiny bit but not that noticeable because of the curve the hood has. Edited February 23, 2012 by piston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rnye Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Man.. That looks fantastic! I can't wait to do mine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stivva Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Same colour and kit as mine. However mine is a satin finish as opposed to your super gloss. Looks great and well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
