First time caller, long time listener here.
I do quite a few car projects, and have had 2 datsun roadsters on the back burner for a while, Im normally building early willys and want to build something for my old man to run on weekends. Im not as rich as that sentence makes me sound, i just spend all my money on pits to toss it down!.
Anyway, I'm good at planning, good at modeling things out in cad before i do them, and i can mill and lathe basic shapes out on a bridgeport and logan lathe... Sometimes i lack practical hands on knowledge that long timers have. I've already used this site a TON, and am pretty impressed with how much knowledge you have assembled in one place. Especially for a car that is so rare to see in the real world.
I am going to try to do an SR20det car and a totally correct car (the 2000 will be the modified one). I'm currently in the process of making 3d models of the chassis and the sr20/trans.
Cheers and thanks for having me!

Will do, I'll also want to drop my 3d modeling somewhere so it can be a planning resource for the next guy.

Welcome, lots to learn here. Looks like you will be able to contribute as well, that is always welcome. We long-timers can learn too!
