HUGE props for doing all the work yourself and being resourceful about finding the parts and creating the methods. This is the kind of thing I wish I knew how to do, so if you don't mind my asking where did you start learning?
Anyways, awesome project and keep up the good work!

I like to learn how to do things myself, I absolutely hate letting someone else do the work I know I can do. I get more satisfaction out of doing the work myself and knowing I did. Plus I dont trust just anyone to touch my car. This is why my next two things to learn are body work from my grandpa and welding from my friend Mike.
Here is a picture of my last project car 1992 Nissan NX2000:
And the car before it, my first car, now my brothers, in its current state. Needs to be painted again bad:

Mainly I look at it all as a challenge to myself to see not what I can do, but what I cant. So far I have found that if I can obtain the right tools there hasnt been much I cant do. Anyone can do this stuff you just have to be determined enough and believe in yourself. I know it sounds like a typical corny motivational statement, but its true.

Damn man, amazing work!
Definitely impressive. Love how you're doing everything yourself and molding things yourself. Awesome job. I look forward to more progress soon!
So this will be a 240SX/Silvia body with most of the engine bay and interior being 350Z parts? That's amazing!
Keep up the good work! Subscribing.

Frickin beautiful work so far.
I love the DIY projects. Built my '69 Mustang back in the day and many headaches later I am very satisfied by doing most of it myself. (W/ the help of my dad....(Father/Son project)).
Just keep it up man. Can't wait to see the updates to come. BTW didn't see it posted...what color are you painting it?

My perfect color if money permits would be this as a base coat:
With a translucent Black over the top, but it depends on how much I end up spending on the car. It will be some sort of black tho.
