Duffy's 1/71 Series 1 240z build

And for the transmission to.

Trying to decide on what to install next.  Put the rear end back in?  Can I put the driveline in after the rear end is in?  I assume there is enough play on the yoke to accomplish that?  Should I put anti seize on the fill and drain plugs on the diff?

Hours and hours of time spent prepping/ tapping these for powder and paint.  Still have a little overspray, but shouldn't be terrible to remove for u-joints and such.

Thanks it will need to slow down soon, I am getting my 77 bronco (full frame off restomod) back from paint in the next week or 2.  I will need to focus on that for a bit.  It's like 90% done or more.

Nice!! So this ain't your first rodeo.

Got some of the rear end done.  Kind of strange to have everything so nice and then stock under carriage paint.

Ok slightly torn between 2 very similar tire size.  205/55 R15 and 205/50 R15

Any input?  Going Dunlop DIREZZA

I am running 225-50-15's, Kuhmo's.  About $60 a tire, very happy with them.

Beutiful cars, but I am only interested in 205/50 and 55.  Top is 50 bottom is 55.

Stock diameter is 25". You want the 55s with just under 24" diameter. 50s are too small at 23"
