I had it done by San Juaquin Chromers in Lodi. They did a super nice job. They did every piece of the exterior of my car minus the gas cap and locks. Very impressed with.

While waiting for my gal to get all done, I bought another Datsun

Wow, clean Z. You are going to need a bigger garage. Nice find.

Sorry, I find modern engine swaps revolting. Keep your G, R, or U series in your Roadster!

Re: Esther (68Fairlady4me)
Thanks! The dog is actually the POs. The picture from the ad was so nice I kept it. It's a nice car, not perfect, but nice. The PO put the L28e and 5 speed and strangely enough, the dash from a 280z I think to get the air conditioning running. It at least lets me go on fun runs with my Datsun group.

Re: Esther (68Fairlady4me)
Went to visit my gal tonight.
They are fully into the dash build and it looks AWESOME. I have a picture, which won't do it justice. I had him put a couple of the gauges in just to get a bit of the flavor of the build. Many more steps till it has all the curves and lines it's suppose to but......sneak peek. They are burning the midnight hours to have it done so I'm at Solvang.

Re: Esther (68Fairlady4me)
Okay, the picture did not load and I hit "submit" too soon. Here is the dash

The gauges are Autometer Prestige series....very cool. The dash will be a light grey and black mix when done.

That is radically different. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Re: Esther (68Fairlady4me)
The interior will be a light light grey and black combo. The area of the dash you see there is in the grey section, so the gauges should offset nicely.
