Yes, the '70-72 brackets go straight in and don't even come close in that area.

I suspected as much. No big deal. I contacted Les at Classic Datsun to give him the scoop. I will send him photos and such so that he can guide later 73 owners.

very shiney! shiney very sparkley shiney shiney :bulb:

Other than that minor fitment issue with the valance, it looks like its going to be alright and looks right at home on the car. I need to order one. The new paint looks great Steve!

Well she's home and I spent the evening putting her back together. It's going to take me the best part of the week to finish up but so far I'm happy with the way it's turning out.

Call me jealous.. that is awesome! Man, I certainly hope you let me see that beauty in person, so I can see how much work my paint needs! Perhaps you can recommend a paint shop to me!

95% finished putting things back together after getting it back from paint. The front lip from Classic Datsun turned out great.

I had to make a couple of small cuts with a dremel to fit it around the 1973 bumper mounts but no biggy. You can't see it unless you are looking for it.

Over all I am very happy with the way the entire car turned out.

Astoundingly beautiful, Steve. You should be proud!

Thanks man!

I spoke to Dave Morreale today and he is coming down on Thursday to appraise it. Dave seems like a great guy. Thanks for the hook up.

Beautiful car, wonderful job! Hope to have my '73 looking that good some day.

Great pics! She turned out absolutely gorgeous! So many great looking Zs gracing the pages of this site!
