Damn... This looks like it was a killer show. I will make it next year!

Cool. I'll pick one up in a few days when I get a chance. I'm not totally feeling the arrow on the N, that's just because my own hand style is better though, lol. Still digging the graff style Datsun logo non the less!

I run triple 40's with a Holley reuglator and Carter pump. No return line, no problem. Fuel is supposed to get hotter this way but I've never test it or seen actual evidence.

Maybe not so much after looking at the laughing man again...

Those kinda look like laughing man faces from GITS.

No man you got these girls confused..... Those are the clearly the ass fuck twins.

Forgot an important piece of info for people looking to move to the area. Do NOT trust Google or any other program that tells you how far away one zip code is from another. Look at a map. I'm 20mi from Seattle, but that's across water, 90min drive vs 20.

I don't think Wa is too expensive to live. I'm from California though. I'm getting tired of the weather, it's June and it's raining all week. Like every one has said the city is pricey but you can find reasonable places to live if you look.

Yay my phone is working again... Forgot the patch file, and doh. Snapped a quick pic of my hand bent fuel line on the way out.

Well I'm not dead! Fuel tank is not fully welded either, I ran out of Ar... I got most of it welded up but there are still 3 big holes. Some of the holes opened up quite a bit and I couldn't get them closed back up before I ran out of gas. I did install the new fuel line, it was a major f'n pain. I used some scrap 3/8" 316SS from work, I had no tube bender so it was a real bitch. I left the return line alone, I'll tackle that when I do a proper build. No pics this round. I installed a new ROM on my phone last night and it keeps boot looping, I can't get a certain file to install.

Thanks, she still has a ways to go. Well I ran out of time. I purged the tank with air for close to 2hr. There is just the slightest smell of fuel still, you kinda have to look for it. I'll purge it with Ar before any welding. That should be more than enough to keep things safe.

So I got a little paranoid about the whole exploding gas tank thing. So even though it's been an empty tank for the last 4-5 months I'm purging it with 40psi of air for at least 1/2-1hr while I get some new hose and run the fuel line. I'll then purge it with Ar for a good 10-20min before I weld on it. I can't see how it will have any vapor or hydrocarbons that will explode after that.

The problem I was having with this car is that sometimes the fuel lines would get full of rust and plug up. The line had chunks of rust and now I'm guessing JB weld, a bunch fell out of the tank, that caused the lines to rust out, accelerating the clogging. Sometimes the car would just start to die from losing fuel. I let my pops borrow it and he fried the clutch, after it sat for a year or two I replaced the clutch but it wouldn't rev past 3,500 rpm. I'm hoping this fixes it. I'm not going to start a separate thread on this car unless I start doing a lot more work to it. For now I'm only planning on this little block of time. Pulled the tank out of the 71' and I'm gonna try to fix the holes and replace the line. It's in better shape than I thought it would be. Yes, there is still surface rust but it's 10X better than what I've had on the road in the past. Of course this won't be permanent but I need something to drive while I get my 72' going. My truck sounds really bad so that's not an option I want to keep going with. PO had "patched" it with what looks like JB weld. Close ups After knocking off the JB weld I'm left with 4 easily (hopefully) weldable holes. A shot of the inside. It looks far worse in this photo then in real life.

Yeah I'd believe it. My girl and i love to go down there because of all the great eats and good beer. Sheeet even good Sake at Bamoboo Sushi. Even out here in my tiny town I wanna say there is about 10-12 breweries. Only 1 home brew store still in business though. PNW fucking rules micro brews!!

Very clean!

Back to beer... We are super lucky here in the PNW to have a seemingly endless supply of great breweries. I've been to a few states on the east coast and in several South West states and I was not impressed with the local breweries at all (excluding Cali). The selections were real thin too, I mean you can go to ANY small convenience store or gas station here in the PNW and you'll find at least 6 great beers out of at least a dozen micro brews. When I was in NY it was so bad I took pictures so when I got home me and my buds could look at them and laugh about it.

Cool beans! I'll let you know after the JY this time if I need a hand.

Cool. Like Luginitas too, I loved the Brown Shugga during the holidays. If you drank it did you notice that last years batch tasted different and had a lower abv? It's because the Brown Shuuga was an accident the first time around. Basically the story is that they dropped a sack of brown sugar in the brew and didn't know what the recipe actually was. It was going to be a one time thing but they made more after it's success. Right now Ninkasi is my go to brewery, just finished off a ducer of Tricerahops Double IPA. I was real heavy into Stone Brewing for a long time, they still make the best Russian Imperial Stout I've had. I like it better than North Coast's Rasputin.

You know maybe they are BAMF's, they are pretty big.

So since I won't be able to work on my car for a while, I'm thinking I might try to make a run to the JY and pick up a fuel tank for my 71'. At least that way I cold have one of my Z's on the road. I guess I'll clean it too, lol. Still not sure because I'd only have a maybe 4-5hr max to pull out 2 tanks, put one tank in, pull 2 quarter windows, put one back in, run new fuel lines, and drop an engine back in. IDK I'll post some pics if I do.

It does kinda look wider up front. The BAMF flares are F'n huge though, like 4-4.5" and 4.5-5" in the rear, so I'm not sure they are BAMF's.

Cool post them up. Neither is on the road atm.... but soon enough.

Cool I can make this now for sure. One way or another ill have a on the road.

Shit. It looks good the way it is.

Sweet! Yeah I'd love to have a 3000sf garage just full of cars.In time.
