You would have thought this was an RC car. -
Nissan brought Yasuyuki Kazama and his team along to be part of the drifting festivities. This is a sideways powerslide all the way around this 180 degree turn. Kazama will bounce the inside front wheel over the ripple strip at the apex. -
Wave of the future - I have learned to appreciate the next of kin. -

Ron, I'm sorry I didn't get to meet you - we seem to have been on different schedules! The car is inspirational. You are doing a great job and I'm happy to see such nice workmanship. -
Gav, We''l need to talk to Alan about this. I understand onlt eleven of these heads were made. -
An absolutely stunning restoration of a very famous race car. -
I think Kats had TOO much fun! -
The Kanji means "Ultimate" -
2nd Place - Daily Driver? I think. -
It was really nice meeting you, Victor! -
Nice steering wheel and horn trim. I noticed you have the luggage bar. I have been looking for one of those. -
Old news, Guus. Eric has had those for sale for quite some time. Watch who you are calling four-eyes, Vicky:finger:

I have some video tapes on sheet metal work that I got from Eastwood. http://blakkat.com/shopping/stores/eastwoodtools.htm Covell is the name of the guy who did them and they are real fun and inspirational to watch. You will soon find out that your inventory of tools may be a little short. Covell makes suggestions on welding techniques and metall hammering techniches showing you how to stretch and shrink the metal with a hammer and a dolly. He also discusses patching rust spots and such. You can get new metal from various places. Charlie Osborne at Zedd http://www.datsunzparts.com/start.htm has probably the most popular floor pans and frame rails. Tabco http://www.tabcobodyparts.com/html/table_of_contents.htm is where I bought some rocker pieces and fender arch beads. I think VB and MSA have metal also. A web search on automotive sheet metal repair should turn up lots of information and various sites with books to sell. Have fun. Too much rust is when you get tired of working on the car and haul it off.

I know that the fuel tanks for the installation you are discussing, alien-e, are different - yes indeed. I understand that they are somewhat custom fabricated. Alan T. "HS30-H" is going to be the best source here. Try looking in his gallery .
