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!

 

Really I guess it runs in the famlily. Me, my dad, my mom and my brother are all a buch of do it yourselfers. That, knowing the right people, surfing the net, watching tv shows and having the "chit, I can do that", or the "F-it if I mess it up I can get another" attitude. I just went with it. 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.

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:

 

Respek!!!

 

awesome build! just stick with it, this is going to be a fast *** car with show winning features!! bump and good luck!

 

 

wow this one hell of a crazy build so far... def can't wait to see more.....

 

awesome build, can't wait to see it finished

 

+1 never seen a car look this good i had all those ideas i was going to put the 350 interior into a s13 thanks for showing me what it'll look like looks amazing great work

 

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.

 

Unbelievable. My hat is off to you, sir... for such amazing DIY skills, and for posting up all of the detail of the project in this thread. I can't wait to see more!

 

Where are you in cincinnati? I am a local and would love to check this out! Ever do any of the local meets and site stuff?

 

Im ten minutes from the river, I live in delhi right near Mt. St. Joe. I attend meets sometimes, but I have never attended any 350z meets.

 

My good friend goes to the Mount. Hes in grad school now. He works part time up at Zerolift. You may know him.

I sometimes come as well, not much for the local scene but its fun. Like to see ya around sometime. In Anderson every tues night 9pm ish is a meet at Friday's on beechmont, for local people. Stop by sometime.

 

moar!!! cannot wait

 

nice project - can't wait to see it completed

 

Thanks for all the comments guys, I am really flattered by all the feedback. This past weekend I removed the core support but unfortunately I left my camera at home, Ill get more pics this weekend.

 

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?

 

Everyone read below before you judge just based on the picture

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.

 

What???

 

Sorry bad link. Fixed.
