Hi everyone

Thanks for the great feedback, it helps to stay motivated, I hurt my back over the holidays so it will be a week or so before I can continue on the build.

really going to try to have it back on the road this spring , without the interior done, but I am not driving it in primer !!!!!!

It has come along way from the first VG30 300ZX engine swap !!!!!

working on the hot rod again , had problems with the radius rod contacting the steering shaft at the ride height that I wanted, so I decided to scrap the steering box and all the crap the go's with it and install a power steering rack.

I worked on the steering rack bracket slash crossmember , got it finished, next is to finish the cantilever suspension on the back and move on to the other stuff , like the drive shaft and fuel tank and wiring , interior,you know tons of stuff yet to do, i was thinking of taking it to the all Japanese car show here in June,I would have to take it on a trailer , but it might be fun to see what other people think of it.

Yes it's pointing towards the radiator, this is way too cool , it has a V shaped gear box that turns it around to hook up with the steering column,and it is Nissan !!!!!! the rack and stuff is out of a 2001 Pathgrinder.

I am just holding it up at the moment I have to notch the frame a little to maybe to get the best angle

and the pieces of suspension for the cantilever on the passenger side rear , I changed it a bit and moved the shock away more to clear the 20 inch tires .

more pic's of that tomorrow
