Great shot Dave,, Looks just like my CP's..

Spent about one day with the prep on these parts as well,, everything had a twist in it or was just sadly bent and had to be straightened and repaired!

Awesome Derek! Great job dude, we appreciate all your hard work!

Awesome job.. I'm glad to see I'm not alone with mine!!

Yet again, thanks to 510East I have the set of vintage American Racing Vectors and his old set of 205/60/VR13 rain tires to get me rolling!!

Mask does the trick Ted! Good ole 3M Blue painters mask.. Clear coat over the entire strut after the color coat..

For anybody that doesn't recognise ,, Those are a set of Real Vintage Datsun Comp racing struts.. Nothing beats a good rebuild and fresh paint with a clear coat!!

Much thanks Faster510! It's looking real good now, and going in for paint this week!! Let's just pray I have the energy left to put it all together again before Christmas.. lol

Look close!! That's right, he's air born!!

Oh, just for anyone that is curious about the Pana looking wheels, they are the REAL Deal Mini Lite Magnesium Racing wheels!! I need to find more of them for Sprite/Midget.. If you have em email me!!

Oh Yeah, that's all custom applied material work throughout the car.. Many of the wood panels had to be modified to work as original.. You need to be a carpenter too when working on these old Britt cars!!

Made in configurations as LZ14, LZ16, LZ18, and LZ20b, and LZ20bT.. THe later engines were used in Formula Pacific and Le Mans cars and could produce up to I believe 570HP...THere may still be parts available in New Zealand and Austrailia..

I just found out what kind of header this is.. While reading through one of my older Datsun Comp books I saw this exact header .. It's the 99996-8001 Trans Am header with 3 inch collector!! NICE!!

Oh yeah.. THe second head is also my Dads original 219 SSS head..

I'll try to get my Shop logo on straight after I do the paint work!!

Still waiting for the SSS choke cable, but I was fortunate that I saved NOS cable brackets that I got 20 years ago when I worked at the Dealershiip!!

I was thinking that as well Ted, but I'm leaving room for the SSS badge to fit just above it..That'll take up the space differance and make it look balanced again..

Really well done looking Z car!! What year is it?? I love the 280 hood on a 240 style body kit!!

lol, It looks awesome Walt!! True to the season you are!!
