  • This is the first step on a long road to building a dream project car. Today we begin the tear down on our long term project Datsun 5 in Dime!
    Step one is to get it down to a bare chassis and get it blasted. Then we will make a decision on what to do moving forward. Metal work etc!

      Purists will hate it. Almost as much as I hate yellow. Sorry to say. Lol. But it will be cool for sure.

    You are one of the amazing talented you tuber's that have pushed me to wanting to start my own you tube channel and my own car build it is a Mitsubishi eclipse 2000. I only have 1 video because money problems but. I want to thank you for all the amazing content you have on your channel it makes me want to get my project farther every time i see a video. Btw you also are the one making me think about doing a $1000 race car build for track racing that would be amazing!

    Would be cool to do a Honda k24/k20 head, turbo swap, or just a turbo swap!

      Turbo swap for sure. Keeping what engine a secret for now. 😉

    If I come across a phillips head that won't come off and I know won't be going back on, if there's room I take the dremel with a cutoff disk and make it into a flathead Haha

      Yeah thats a good way to do it! Sometimes they are even too rusted for that though. lol.

      Sorry dude. I've just been working and saving up a bit of cash. Winter sucks and my garage isn't insulated. UA-cam doesn't pay the bills, so I have been doing other stuff. HOWEVER I will be getting back to the swing of things very shortly! First race is a little over a month away now!

    Have you ever raced a Honda Civic, seems it would be a pretty good handling machine.

      That was my first racecar! Still have it. There are 2 videos with it. The type R expo video and Subaru speed expo. Check those out to see it! Fantastic cars.

      Thought about a 4.8 crank in a 6.0 block for a 8k rpm screamer. But I have something else in mind. Been wanting to do it for my whole life. Less than 8, more than 4cyl. Clues are dropped if you're keen to notice. Keeping it a surprise for now. 😉
