Shoot you keep us going. Always steppin up your game.

Small stuff is all we can do right now so here is a small update.

Still trying to work out paint so we decided to build a strut bar to pass some time.

Still a lot to do to it but figured i'd show whats going on.

Thanks everyone for all the great feed back. It really does keep us motivated.

Slowly but surely we are getting there.

treeafodo · 09-27-2012, 08:58 PM

This is an amazing build so far! I love the attention to detail and the fabrication. Keep it up! Subscribed

d-what? · 09-27-2012, 09:23 PM

This build has inspired me to go widebody. once I get a job, and shell deemed worthy. I also wish I had welding skills, it looks like they come in handy.

df3kt760 · 09-28-2012, 02:08 AM

Very nice like the strut bar would mind having one like that myself
and i would like to see more pictures of the hood with the vents on it

SSCACAHUATES · 10-01-2012, 05:27 PM

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! i read through the build thread and it stopped : ( kickass build man truly a work of art.

jabless13 · 10-01-2012, 09:24 PM

Once this damn thing is done we will probably start making custom parts (we will see). The hood is for sale. If you like i could pm you some pics.

Thanks a lot. We have been slacking big time.... But,

Today got her pulled out and cleaned out the inside (getting ready for paint again). Have some wet sandding to do on the inside and little shit here and there.

Also got a fuel cell measured out to get the ball rolling on that as well.

KoukiMonsta · 10-01-2012, 11:14 PM

As I said before, love this car. And as you asked I have started but it ain't no quick build. Link in sig kinda shows but I really should update it..as you said attention to detail takes time. Plus lets be real, fab/building makes me..hard not having a 'finished' car for e-creds lolz

Keep it up homie, killin it right jere

tdaffern · 10-13-2012, 03:10 PM

Well paint is on hold again. Started to spray with the paint we have and it looks really bad. So we made the call to stop before getting to far. So putting that shit on hold again until i can get a better quality paint. Until then we are going to focus on getting the front back together.

with that said here is the strut bar finished, just needs paint.

NNOCENT · 10-13-2012, 03:48 PM

damn man I WANT TO SEE IT PAINTED

great work so far, and you should put the 280zx hood back on it!!!

EvoVIII808 · 10-14-2012, 03:03 PM

Pre Orders.. hahahaha

tdaffern · 10-27-2012, 10:04 PM

Got a few things done in the last few days. Added a bmc stopper to the strut bar. Over kill is the name of the game haha.

Also put a block off plate in to cover the AC/heater vent (since i will not run either).

Went ahead and relocated the power steering reservoir

Since it's going to be a while until we get to paint we went ahead and painted the front half of the inside of the car. Now we can move forward on wiring and fuse box location. Just trying to stay busy and move forward.
