Eagle_Adam Posted April 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 I did get to finagle a a few more "additions" to the list for body work :D The battery tray will get shaved and relocated and The engine bay will get cleaned up as well. Holes filled and seems smoothed out And as a cool little perk when I asked the painter if I left a digital camera for pics if he would takes some he informed me that it's standard procedure at his shop to photo document the restoration process so that he can show what was fixed and that it was fixed right not just filled bondo! Which was stoked to hear 6 Quote Link to comment

bananahamuck Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Yeah good call on the patients thing ,, good body/paint work doesn't usually come under a demanding customer. 2 Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted April 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 and one of those two sets of lights are going in my car, i much prefer the earlier body style lights and now is the time not after paint so i asked the body guy what he would want to do that mod and it was stupid cheap so i went for it they end up looking like this or like this depending on what year i go with.

Eagle_Adam Posted April 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 but either way i go, i wanna end up with sequential turn signals like in the old mustangs 3 Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted April 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 and as for the front end? well i have been working on something a little different for the front! this is how the car came stock and after i install all of the goodies i bought (including the real SSS grill) it will look like this!!! i even ended up with the AUS rear bumper too so i can really pull off the "AUS spec SSS 610 coupe" theme i was after 4 Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Not to split hairs, but your taillights will be cooler than the AUS spec ones ;) 2 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 You baller... Is this build being sponsored by tanker? lol Good work man! I am just jelly, that's all. Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted April 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 What tanker and I do is none of your business Draker :p But to be 100% honest........... I'm not the one paying for the paint job ;) Quote Link to comment

Eagle_Adam Posted April 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 lulz but for reals, im not actually paying out of pocket! My GF's dad is a CPA and owns his own firm, a client/buddy of his owes him some $ and will prob never pay it nor will he be hassled about the debt due to their friendship so Scott told me to take my datsun over to his friend and get a paint job ;) at first i thought he was kidding or the guy would be some hack, but pleasantly to my surprise Scott was serious about the offer and the painter friend of his has talent so i jumped at the opportunity 1 Quote Link to comment

Eagle_Adam Posted April 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Well..... I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth but I was in no way shape or form prepared for the 610 to go off to paint. But in my usual manner I have pulled off another miracle and furthered my Datsun addiction. 3 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 I am jelly of anyone who owns a 610 coupe. One day... Quote Link to comment
