what suspension do you have in the back? 240sx? i wanted to do something similar with a 280z rear end that i have. more detail on how you did that exactly would be vastly helpful. muchos grassy-ass

[620mike]

i got the engine in and cleaned and painted not much other progress.ill post pics soon. yes it is a 240sx rearend with 300zx rear hubs...to convert the 5 lug

[620mike]

so i got this dash out of a 1953 chevy parts car i had layning around and it fits preety close... so if i can swap everything over to the pas side without screwing it up im going to run it...the window line is very close and the width is almost perfect

Nice work. The IRS looks very nicely done too.

 

By the way, unibody mean there is no frame. What you have created is a one-piece body, like a Ranchero, which still has body-over-frame.

[620mike]

ggzilla i do know what a true unibody is but thats the best way to dicribe it.. if i called it elcamnio style or ranchero style it just wouldnt sound cool cuz both of thos cars r not as cool lol and technically the body is one piece now....

 

well i dont think my pc likes photobucket cuz i cant seem to uplaod the new pics ill try to get them up soon ....

[ggzilla]

The technical term is "Coupe Utility" (one piece truck body, whether unibody or separate chassis). But maybe that doesn't cool either.

 

Photobucket has trouble when I upload more than 50 or so 14 megapixel photos (it hangs after loading some of them). But Photobucket works fine with a lesser number, or can do hundreds of 1024x768 photos fine.

i doubt there is enough weight in the ass end of the truck to taco the upper arms but i am going to build some DOM adjustable uppers just for looks...im trying to update pictures cuz the back end has changed alot from then too...

Here you go, now we can see it without going anywhere else.

What did you do with the RHD steering gear, you want to sell it, PM me.
