Hello everyone my name is Matt and I just towed my fathers 66 1600 home. He purchased it brand new off the show room floor at Long Beach Datsun and has owned several others over the years. He raced them in FP for Long Beach Datsun and growing up this is all i ever heard about while working on his roadsters. He has given his first to me now and I am going to do it justice and do a complete overhaul on it. Looking forward to speaking with you all! As soon as i take some pics ill upload

That looks sweet.
I am pretty close, Laguna Hills. Still working on my 2000 engine rebuild but am always willing to help out in the mean time. I had a 2000 as a kid and am pretty familiar with them.
