I'm not sure it ever does where project cars are concerned... 😉

Yeah, the '97 Dodge van we built is like that. All of the body bolts are metric, but all drivetrain/suspension bolts are standard... 😄

(Possibly) dumb question: Got space for studs and nuts in there? We recently converted the hinges/doors on Tim's 1200 to studs and it was a game changer. So much easier to take the doors off and on. At least that way you could put some metric bolts in there and tack weld them to stay? No tap needed, then...

That is some very nice welding sir. 🫡

FYI, it is suprising how much some wheels flex on hard cornering. 😁 Thicker spacer won't get it done?

Plus, once we add the false floor to it to level it off, you can still camp in it. 😉

Yeah, I've tried a few different aerosol versions, and none worked great. FWIW, the "good stuff" can be just brushed on if you aren't too picky about how the surface texture looks.

Any consideration given to some kind of undercoating/stone guard?

FYI, there is a seperate thread for non-Datsun sightings over here: But that thing sure is sexy... 🫢

I have the utmost confidence due to the fact that we are basically using attachment points that are extremely close to the factory attachment points. If anything, this should/could make the bar stiffer since we have moved said points slightly closer to each other. And like he said, this is how the factory rear bar works for the S110. And the scientifically accurate "see how easy it is to rock the car from side to side" test proved fruitful. 😁

He's still kicking around, even comes in here occasionally (AFRacer). He moved to Arkansas though, so I have not seen him for a bit. It put down over 300hp at the wheels last I saw. It was bananas... 🫢

A 1200's got character. And character goes a long way. After you swap in an A14/A15. 😉
