I got this kit 4 months ago but I did do nothing with it. So I last month  order wheel from Japan and that took a long time to get to my house. But the wheels came today so I  figured I would  Start on it and take some pictures  of my progress ?

I love these little cars!!, and it looks like you're doing a GREAT job of it!!   Japan orders have been slown-down a bit because of a typhoon that hit the island. I was actually surprised that my orders came in at all......when I finally found out what happened, I ordered from another place just incase.....I now have back-ups...lol   -Keep up the great work!!

Classic Datsun! Watanabes is a good choice for this one.

those rims do look good on the car and i might leave them black because the bod color is going to be Nissan midnight purple what do you think.

It’s been 3 months I think. Here’s a update on the 510 I got he base and clear on.

The color is Nissan mind night purple and the clear is 2k clear by splash paints same thing with the color I buffed and cut  the Clare I used 3 stage polish from splash paints.

I put the door panels on and sand them to make them fit good do not have a picture of it. Doing the radiator hose were hard to do but the spark plug wires were easy to do some with the fuel lines. With the fuel lines I cut on smaller to tie in to the other fuel line. I routed the fuel lines on the fire wall. I painted the top of the shifter purple to look the same as the body (don’t think I have a pic of it).

Here is before I wet sand the body which is pretty smooth but had a bunch of junk in it  

Here is after I cut and buffed the clear and it came out good I say. but I have to redo the top there is still some dullness to it. And it was my first time doing it. There is still low spots in the clear because I was to scared to burn through the clear and cold. But I I’m happy with it.

nice work o the paint cant wait to see more keep up the great work!!

Awesome!

that paint looks WET! I'm impressed by the shine you got on it. 

You made the right choice with the wheels. Black would be good, but a dark gold would contrast well with the body colour. Or a gunmetal with a hint of gold.

engine etc. look spot on
