I am glad to see you bring this subject up again Ron. I am absolutely fascinated with the design and construction engineering of the S30. The sophistication of the chassis construction for the period is remarkable in my opinion. Now you bring to light the idea that the VIN was engraved in place - very interesting.

I think I have posted these pictures from the collection before, but these may help illustrate.

I first became interested when I picked up this photo of a complete floor from an eBay sale years ago. Then I started collecting pictures of the various metal stampings and repair parts from eBay ads. These, I assocated with the exploded diagrams and illustrations in the parts books to examine various assembly ideas. On a bare chassis like 26th was once, you can see the assembly welds contrasted with the fabrication spot welds. Then you and I got into that long e-mail discussion, Ron, and I collected some photos from Nissan corporate annual reports. This is a great subject!

How'd you like to get a crated floor section like that now?
