Bob3 Posted January 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 I just painted it on with primer. What do you think? Quote Link to comment
garryk6 Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Be careful that you don't get it looking too "Fancy" or someone may figure it out... :P :cool: Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 think you should move it forward a bit and have less angle. line it up so the datsun badge is in between the lines. similar to the 510 layout Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 I agree with skib....I was thinking a bit fatter too. If you go with the factory body color, maybe an olive drab for the stripes? Air dam looks good! Quote Link to comment
yello620 Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 I differ a little on opinion here from skib and mklotz, I think that the stripes look better with that angle, layed down a little more than the normal BRE stripes. I do agree that they should be moved forward a little to take in the datsun emblem and that fatter stripes would look better. I really like the looks of the stripes on there too. Gave it that going really fast while sitting still look. Quote Link to comment

cueball1 Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Bob, Fantastic project and really well done and documented. Only thing I can add is this. Did you know the Miata engine was made to be turbo'd!?! I bet that truck would be a whole lotta fun with 200+ hp at the wheels. Quote Link to comment
denveratsun Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Even more whole lotta fun you mean right? Extra wholelaotta please...with a side of burn-outs right in front of the Sherrifs office. Hold the speed limit. Thank you. :D Quote Link to comment
