Sounds great! Better than any modern four cylinder if you ask me.

That sounds great and looks like a riot. Did you just forget to shut the trunk or did it pop open from all the shenanigans? Liked and Subscribed.

Car sounds like it is running great! A good drive makes all the time worthwhile.

I spent way too much time working on this. I hope its worth 4 minutes of your time. LMK if you're watching because if people like it I plan to make more videos like this, but hopefully more of the canyon run/ track day experience...

I like seeing those types of builds for sure. Lots of good inspiration, I think. I will be honest that every time i see one of these i'm taking a picture to post in here. How much sense does it make to just powder coat the front dash like that? common?

The pre68 had those metal dash faces so its a nice touch, Ive seen a lot of different things people have done. The odd yellow headlight is strange but overall the car is nicely done

I wanted to share this in case you didn't see it yet. These cars are so neat.

Lol everyone that knows I own a Roadster has sent me pics/links to that car. I actually just watched that video today. It’s not bad, there’s a lot I like about it. Ironically, that car has two mods I considered for mine. First was the slanted Fairlady emblem on the back, but I decided against doing that and drilled the holes level, so it sits horizontally like it’s supposed to. The other item was the muffler, I was considering using a super trap muffler but also decided against that. I’m leaning towards doing something different that I think would like and sound significantly better. Stay tuned In other news, this image was sent my way over the weekend...

That sucks about the wrong parts being sent to Will, but it the fact this guy figured it out seems like good news to me. Think you'll have it back before the new year?

He is the best person I can find, and definitely isnt scared to deal with these finicky carbs....

as for when it will be ready?... I keep jinxing myself so I wont say when I think it will be ready. Just hope *soon*

Well... its been about two weeks. Theres good news and bad news.

Good News

Their butts finally showed up to take the car *rim shot*



and the car succesfully made it to House Kyusha Taka



Mikuni's are being completely taken apart and cleaned up. He offered to zinc plate them. I declined.









Bad News
Looks like the rebuild kit that was sent to Will had the wrong diaphragms...





Some stripped holes that are going to get helicoiled, and rather than deal with the NLA French Metric hardware, they will get something readily available.





Heres some interesting stuff, a secondary hole drilled on the venturi. The extra hole will get plugged.



Meanwhile, he also posted this on Instagram. Im quite excited that he is taking this on... a few other issues to deal with before they get reassembled.
