Blackmarkit 710 Daily


Recommended Posts

Ok so I've haven't had a full evening to work for a few days. But I got a little done. I pulled the motor and transmission back out and cleaned it up. Finally got some sheet metal and did about a hours worth of work.

Ok so tonight I tackled the radiator mount and it turned out pretty good. I used the cxracing 510 ka radiator. Im not super impressed with them but there short amd wide. the mounting tabs are never the same. so i slotted my mounting holes 3/8" in my mill to give a little adjustment. The small bead rolls added a lot of style.

Ok so made some headway. I got the headlight buckets mounted and the hood latch brace made. I covered the top of the tube and finished most of the welding.

Here's the top of the tube sheet metal.

Well as I promised my wife this would be a quick one but all my friends keep saying well... Why don't you just ..... So the motor is stripped down to the short block. The head gasket looked questionable. The engine bay is almost completely stripped and should be painted by this weekend. I have a good friend and future employee helping me named Jesse. He's the one that keeps convincing me to change and clean up all the old worn out stuff. And while I know hes right I wanted to though it together and drive it. But it looks like I won't be keeping this one for very long so with all that I'm doing it should be a much easier sell.

As always didnt get as much done as planned. Last minute found out we had a b day party to go to.

Yeah I could have stitch welded the bay but I'm just trying to make a decent daily not a race car. I know it wouldn't have affected anything in a negative way but the only reason I tubed the front was because of damage. Hopefully I can lower it a little and just have a smooth riding reliable daily until I finish my 260z

Thanks. I really hope I can build 100 more by the time I die. I feel like I come up with a new ideas everyday and there's no way I will ever be able to build them all. The plan is to start a shop about a year from now. If everything works out ill be able to do what I love everyday
