My big fear is that you will soon lose interest in 'all things Datsun' and move on new challenges.  The next logical step for someone with your skills is a late-60's Alfa GTV, isn't it?  Or -- sharp intake of breath -- a Jag E-Type.

Oh there's no fear of that, I love the look of the GTV's, absolutely beautiful car and I almost bought one before my first 240z but I was allowed to take the car for a test drive and they really don't handle very well,  the suspension and steering  design are from the 50's.  The Z is much more fun car to drive and was more affordable, not so much any more.  I had my stint with British cars too, they certainly have their charm but they also have a lot of drawbacks.  I almost bought a 510 when I was 16 but my folks wouldn't let me so I'm looking forward to getting this one on the road.

Good advice on wearing eye protection....
 

I spent two weeks in NAS Jacksonville Hospital after a wire came off of a wheel they were grinding the deck of the Destroyer SS Waldron. Luckily no permanent damage to my eye, but it went in a half inch. BTW grannyknot.....really enjoy watching your project!!!

Does anyone know what the 3 green one red and one yellow dot on the tires mean?   As i sometimes put tires on..(in the past just few times) i know/think?  the red dot is the light spot of the tire and should be placed near the ... what you call it.. the tire valve?  (Learning lots of english here!!! 😉 )

I'm particular interested in the green one's as there are 3 !! of them on 1 tire..

Yellow is the heaviest spot of the tire? (as it is exactly opposite the red spot.)

I got the whole car seam sealed and yesterday put 2 coats of high build primer on everything, so far all the panels are looking pretty smooth but I'll find out this morning when I get the guide coat on it.  One good thing about the Covid situation is I'm getting a lot of work on the car done.
