blakt out Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share #133 Posted April 25, 2010 Well fellas, the wait is about over. I'll be picking up the car in a few days. At that time, we're going to be taking a ton of pics, and I'll post them on here, along with video. I can't wait. After nearly 3 years (this thread title says 24 months, and it's been 36 now!), she's almost done. I'll be having a professional photog shoot the car this week, and I'll be sure to get that stuff up here for you all. I'm proud to say that this car will be at the Nationals this summer, and I'm putting it in the show to see how well she can do. Thanks so much. I can't explain how giddy I am!

Carl Beck Posted April 25, 2010 Share #135 Posted April 25, 2010 "Nationals"?? - - bring it to the Mitty next week!!3 YEARS.....in a few months you'll be wondering what project you can start on next. You really do need a pure stock example in the same color to sit beside it.;-) Fantastic Job... enjoy the ride...Carl B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakt out Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share #136 Posted April 25, 2010 Thank you much, men.As far as the Mitty, my business partner owns European Auto Garage here in Knoxville and they're having a big Cars & Coffee event with lots of crazy cars lined up. I think I need to go to that instead. BUT, if things change, I might just do that!Are a ton of Z guys going to The Mitty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montezuma Posted April 25, 2010 Share #138 Posted April 25, 2010 The Mitty is having a big deal this year to the Datsun badge. I know Les is taking 4 cars to it, 3 BRE cars. Should be a great event from what I told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted April 26, 2010 Share #139 Posted April 26, 2010 Congratulations on finishing your project!! I'm sure that it will do well at the Nationals, but even if it doesn't I think that you have a 10/10 winner on your hands. I'm not much on swapping engines but there is no argument that you have a very capable car here that is in every way better than the factory intended. I have enjoyed reading the progress on this car and can't wait to see the professional pics. I would love the chance to fill my lenses with this car...but I'm not quite close enough to make that happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakt out Posted April 26, 2010 Author Share #140 Posted April 26, 2010 (edited) Smokey, Thanks much. Where are you in NC? I'll be driving it from Wilmington up I-40 all the way to Asheville, and then through Hot Springs and into Knoxville on Friday... Jared Oh, at least I left the interior alone! It's all new, from Classic Datsun Motorpsports... every little thing is restored. Edited April 26, 2010 by blakt out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary in NJ Posted April 26, 2010 Share #141 Posted April 26, 2010 Nice looking car. Well worth the wait and effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted April 26, 2010 Share #142 Posted April 26, 2010 Jared,I'm in Winston-Salem, and work in Greensboro. You will probably be coming through my zone on I-40. If you see a slick top city police car on your tail, its just me checking you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murf300 Posted April 28, 2010 Share #143 Posted April 28, 2010 The section of I40 from Wilmington to I95 should be a blast in that thing. Have fun. I hope to see this in person one day.Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
