cut and lifted hood 1" then made a top and bottom fiberglass hood with extended front to give it a touch of attitude.  don't care for the hood, will redo for a 2" later.

Man, that's beautiful!! :w00t:   :thumbup:  Love the bumper reworking, looks clean and straight!  Also love the rims, looks good with the 15's in the back and 13's in front.  

Nice, clean paint and beautiful curves.  I was never a fan the fast-back coupe version of the b210 until i saw this one.

The 13s cleared the zx caliper ok? Needs 15s on the front for symmetry with slightly narrower tires than the back. Front tires will make the back look larger. Like how the roll pans were treated, I hate mine and the park benches. Don't care for the 'screens' over the openings. Don't need them and attracts attention. I owned a new '76. Wouldn't have noticed the hood without you mentioning it so definitely needs to be higher. Best thing? the stripe. Usually not a fan of non factory personalized stuff but you hit a home run with that. Awesome detail!

THE 13" ARE SOOOOO CLOSE, HAD TO REVERSE THE BREAK CALIPERS. THE FRONT END CAME DOWN QUITE A BIT WITH THE SLIP COLLARS, YOU CAN'T TELL IN THESE PIC. IT'S KIND OF ON A SLIGHT HILL. THE FRONT SCREENS CAME OFF SOME RACE TRACK PIC I LOOKED UP, I DIDN'T WANT THE FRONT END TO LOOK TOO (HEAVY). THE HOOD WELL  THAT'S BITTER SWEET, I WANTED IT TO BE SUBTLE BUT I MISSED IT, ITS TOO SUBTLE. (REDO). THE STRIPE, NOW THAT WAS A PAIN IN THE ASS, REALLY FEELT THAT I ALMOST HAD TO SHAVE THE DOOR HANDELS JUST TO GET THEM OUT OF THE WAY OF MY STRIPE. IT TOOK US EIGHT HOURS TO LAY THAT OUT AND MASK. 20 SOME YEARS AGO I'M GOING UP I-5 IN EVERETT IN MY ORANGE HATCHBACK AND I SEE A B-HATCHBACK THAT IS ROOTBEER BROWN WITH A STRIPE THAT WRAPPED AROUND THE BUTT AND I TOLD MY SELF IF I EVER PAINT ONE OF THOSE I'M GONNA PUT THAT STRIPE ON IT. SO I TOOK THE WRAP STRIPE AND PUT IT TOGETHER WITH A DODGE DEMON STRIPE, HAD TO KEEP IT THIN- DIDN'T WANT TO OVER POWER THE CAR WITH IT. WOULD LOVE TO PUT A CAGE IN IT AND RE-POWER THE CAR. PUT THE SSS EMBLEM ON IT, COULDN'T PASS IT UP-TO PERFECT. IT IS AFTER ALL A NISSAN PART- BLASPHEMY MAYBE, SACRILEGE NEVER!!!

Where did you get the window rubber from.? I also have a fastback (hatchback) b210 and I need to replace all the rubber on it and looking for a source in getting them.

Any help will be much appreciated..

 

Hey Fresh - I bought vent window rubber for my '76 from rare spares in Australia.  Part #'s RRQS423 and RRQS424. Slow and expensive, but they might be the last place on earth that's still making them.  Still can't find the long triangle one's in the way back...probably going to have to make them. I got the front windshield, rear hatch glass, and door rubber on ebay from Thailand.
