well here we are.... i told you all i would update you on my build..... so here we go, the Datsun build has been put on hold for a while so i can focus on a project for my family. i built a shackle relocation kit for my f350 to level the front end in preparation for this sweet cab over camper that a friend of ours gave to us. its time my family and i get back in touch with nature, things have been rather stressful here as of late . i am sorry there isn't much to update you all on about the 320 but this is just how projects work out sometimes. what i can tell you about the 320 is the next step will be designing strut towers. it is a toss up between tubular towers and plate steel towers i am still trying to figure out witch direction i want to go . i will try and update you all as much as possible when i get back into the swing of things .

sorry for the lack in updates things have been a tad crazy here lately. i promise i will give you all a proper update tomorrow my computer died and i am awaiting the new one which will be in tomorrow

i am not offended by any means i think it is impotent for people to share their experience with one another. and that is some very nice sheet metal work you have got going on there

i am a huge fan of cardboard cad as it gives you a realistic representation of what needs doing. there are all sorts of little "life hacks" out there for this sort of thing but most of it is just thinking outside of the box. thanks for the interest in my build and i will post as many pics and posts as i can luckily 320newb reminds me to make posts hahaha.

i have definitely had to redo my fair share of brackets and such with this build as well

thanks newb . and no i do not keep track of my hours i kind of don't want to know how many hours iv got in it hahahaha

here is a few more shots of the cross member mounts

Thanks stoff. Yeah I have no room around my house to put the cab so on the back of the frame it goes

so first off i would like to start by saying i hope everyone is staying safe and happy in these strange times. i personally have been off of work for 3 weeks now witch has been very strange for me . with that being said i have had some spare time to do some work on the 320z. witch isn't to much as i am playing teacher dad during the day witch consumes most of my day .

i do

thanks for the input i know the clamps well. i made some up to encase my rear control arm bushings that i made.

i will be using the z car coil overs i picked up. i just haven't cut the factory shock towers yet. ill be making tubular strut towers here soon-ish

yes it is. the space in my garage is very limited and i can not fit it in the back yard. i don't want to set it out front because i don't trust people. if someone stole it id have to rampage

oh and if anybody is interested in front end suspension parts i have them up for grabs i will be scraping them soon so if you want them just let me know and cover shipping

iv been rather busy at work lately so the Datsun has been a little slow and go but i have picked up Toyota 4 piston calipers for the front end i have also pulled the cab to start prepping the 240z front cross member and control arms. and im throwing in a pic of a friends bad ass ride just because i can hahaha
