Well I'm rooting for your project man.

Some people have the proper crafts and theory schooling at an early age then eventually develop the fundamental skills and ingenuity to create it. You already have the skills and ingenuity so I can only imagine what you could do with some formal knowledge.

We are impressed, so maybe the industry will be too. Keep up the work.

Hopefully.... Till then Im ....all by myself, dont wanna be all by my..... eh em anyway just bought my oxygen tank, wire, nismo mounts, and tommorrow I am buying my 05 transmission with 22k on it since 04 trans seem to have problems. The guy said the trans should be at my house before the weekend. Nismoparts.com gave me my tracking number and my S15 core support and bumper reinforcement will be in wednesday. Called up my buddy mike and he is going to teach me how to use my toy, my lincoln mig welder. So this weekend its on! Stay tuned.....

Yeah thats the idea once I finish the car. I am seeking some sponsors, not hardcore though as I am torn between cluttering up my car with decals (which I absolutely hate) or sticking it out myself and going the distance.

If I didn't do a search I would have never found this thread. What a great read and project. When I saw the first photo of the S14 without wheels I would have given up as I scrolled down and saw how much planning, research, and work going into this, I could help but admire the drive and will you have to accomplish something that should be on the cover of a national magazine. I hope this makes it mainstream GL with the rest of the build!

Gearing up for the weekend.....

Nismo S14 mounts came in, dont know if they will work with the mount kit or if I need 350z mounts, but I figured if they dont work I can always sell them:

And if I have time after welding I am going to start planning the routing of the 350z harness, I finally finished labeling everything so here it is every freaking wire in a 350z besides the engine harness, labeled and ready to be modified to fit:
