Building a One of a Kind 240Z (MORE PROGRESS & EXCITING NEWS!!!)

[@trevormcculloch5011]

The algorithm figured I would enjoy this, and I cannot pass on 240 content. This is great stuff. The work you are doing is beyond what most people do. Subbed hoping I learn some stuff from a build like this. Can't wait to dig through your previous videos

[@DustyMacsGarage]

Stoked that the algorithm brought you to the channel. Excited for you to check out some of the other build videos on the Z too!!! Glad to have ya join us!!!! I appreciate the kind words!!!

[@RoninEclipse2G]

Honestly I love the quick, simple description at the beginning, WORK with some light voice-over for the bulk of the vid(music is OK, or not, either works. Finding good royalty free music that isn't used by everyone else is a PAIN, so I understand), followed by a quick "here's what's next," keeps my attention. The early videos where you would talk for 5, 10, or more minutes would have me skipping through to the actual building portion. Thankfully I found this build with enough videos to keep the interest going. Absolutely love the work you're doing, and I'm glad you're still going. I hope to build a 1st gen Z myself someday, and it helps to see what you're going through (praying mine doesn't need that much work, though)

[@DustyMacsGarage]

Yooo!!! Appreciate your thoughts and critics. I agree I was sometimes long winded in the early days 😂 Glad you stuck it out though!! Hoping you get to build a Z one day too!!! Appreciate the support and the comment!!! And I hope yours wont need as much work also 😂

[@stevensellen2089]

I’m doing fine keep it up 15:03

[@DustyMacsGarage]

Thanks Steven!!!! Gonna keep doing my best bro!!

[@toddnakamura6030]

If it ain't broke, don't fix it! There is a reason you've gained so many followers, a good part of it is the style you have developed in doing your previous vids. Keep going my friend.

[@DustyMacsGarage]

Valid point!!!! Thanks for the thoughts and for your support!!!! Hope all is well!!

[@AnthonyCessor]

You are building this Z the way you want and I definitely respect that and I think other people should too. This Z has your craft to it and that is something awesome that you will be able to share for years with others so definitely keep doing what you are doing with your custom fabrication work and make this Z unique to you guys! Also glad to see videos are making a comeback, almost missed this one. Personally I like the way your videos have been in an entertainment perspective but I can see how the other way with a longer video will allow you to go more in detail with what you are doing and why you are doing it etc... I think the videos the way they been are perfect time wise.

[@DustyMacsGarage]

Thanks Anthony for your thoughts and support!! Glad to hear you enjoy the videos as they are and appreciate my touch on the build!!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻We gonna get there eventually bro!!!

[@emersonleitteoficial]

Man, this project is really cool, I don't miss any videos from this wonderful series, looking forward to the final part of this project. Success in your project, following directly from Brazil! 🇧🇷

[@DustyMacsGarage]

Yooo!!!! Stoked to hear you dont miss any videos bro!!!! I appreciate the support!!! Cheers from SC to Brazil 😃

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

Love it, loving thr new camera too dude. Always liked the custom floor pans. What about when it comes to putting carpets in? You can't cover them!! :D. Keep it up dude. Looking forward to fire Fridays on the Datsun 2 Friday Z!

[@DustyMacsGarage]

Thanks bro!!!! Yeah may have to put a clear section in the carpet to have the Z be seen 😂 thanks for the support!! Im excited for the Fridays!! You guys keep crushing it as well 😃

[@BrothersCustomBuilds]

Build is looking great!

[@DustyMacsGarage]

Thanks Stephen!!!! Hope all is great on your end!! 😃

[@hermancoetzee696]

Hi from Cape Town, South Africa. Build it the way YOU want to. I used to follow that mentality with my builds and they all ended up super nice, dependable and valuable. Love the content.

[@DustyMacsGarage]

Yooo!! Cheers Boet!!! Im glad you found my content pretty lekka!!! Glad to have ya watching!! Hoping to post new video this weekend!!! Stay in touch!! Thanks for the support!!!

[@ag_trucks]

Awesome video!! Love the 240z videos and that’s what the people seem to like as well! Keep it up🔥

[@DustyMacsGarage]

Yooo!!! thanks bro!!! I appreciate it!!! You keep crushing it as well 😃 loving the build and your videos!!!

[@danger-dan04]

i started sweating when you asked " have you been working on your projects"

[@DustyMacsGarage]

😬😬😬 my bad bro 😂 I hope all is well. Do you have recommendation on place to order bulk stickers from. I know Kaleb mentioned you helped design stuff for him. At some point Im wanting to at least use my logos and have stickers made to sell maybe?

[@NissanZSmith]

Also, find your niche, whatever works for you and you feel like you can make consistent progress. I find that successful KZbinrs make consistent “bits” and keep a consistent pattern. You got this man, whatever you decide you’ll have a loyal viewer in me. 17:04

[@DustyMacsGarage]

Thanks Zach!!! I appreciate the support!!!

[@Andrew-qo2jg]

All's looking good since I last watched. You have a great skill in Vehicle Restoration.

[@DustyMacsGarage]

Thanks Andrew!!! I appreciate it bro!!!

[@gman01967]

Stay like you are and I have not really been working on my project like I should.

[@DustyMacsGarage]

Thanks bro!!! And dont sweat it about your project bro!!! Thanks for the support!!

[@soulhanz86]

Never failed to amaze me man

[@DustyMacsGarage]

I appreciate it bro!!! Trying my best!!!

[@MD-318]

Just found your channel and watched the previous videos. Great work, takes real stamina to keep going and not give up, espicially when you've spent so long on metalwork. You've got a new fan here. Watching from Kent in the UK, just near Brands Hatch racing circuit.

[@DustyMacsGarage]

Yoooo!!! Stoked to have you join us for the build. It always excites me to hear a new viewer has joined and went back and watched the previous build videos!! I appreciate the support more than ya know!!! Hoping to get this metal work done lol. Cheers from SC to the UK!! 🤘🏻stay in touch!!

[@dans5595]

since you're asking... no music, or very low volume relative to the talking.

[@markbennett6658]

You’ve certainly made life harder for yourself fabricating everything from scratch. The car was very rough to start with and I think the real charm of your channel is the triumph over adversity narrative. I’d say it all amounts to a lot of similar content and it might be better to get some light and shade and do a video of fabricating stuff, then maybe focusing on mechanical stuff and then one on the interior and what choices you make etc to give the viewers some variety. I also think you are adding a bit of weight over stock with all the box sections and reinforcement so if the L24 is going back in I reckon it needs breathing on quite hard or the car may be all show and no go! Anyhow Dusty keep going after it I admire your tenacity and work ethic what with the 3am work outs, straight into the overalls and then I guess the day job. Good job you’re a young fit guy! I’m looking forward to what you can do with that Friday👍

[@DustyMacsGarage]

Mark!!! Defintley would say its the triumph over adversity thing too 😂 yeah I would run early in the morning, work on the Z maybe a hr and half then go to my real job, I will be 38 come my birthday so I guess thats young depending on who you ask lol. Thanks for the continued support Mark!! See ya in the next one 😃

[@markbennett6658]

@@DustyMacsGarage I’ll be 61 next birthday so if you ask me I’d say at 38 you’re young😂👍

[@adinlouw]

I cant care for the format of videos Dusty, I will enjoy them anyway. totally looking fwd to FabFridays. I was thinking occasional live streams might be cool. just a thought

[@DustyMacsGarage]

Yooo! Adin, thanks for your thoughts and support boet!!!! Glad your excited about Fab Fridays 😃 I hope all is well with your fam and your Rx7!!!!

[@JLBAZANJR]

Looking good. I’m working on my 260. The surface rust removal has been a pain.

[@DustyMacsGarage]

Stoked to hear youve been working on your project!! What all you gotta do to your Z?

[@JLBAZANJR]

I’m cleaning off rust and need to replace rails and floor pans. After that get the underside completed with raptorliner. I’m putting in a VR30DDTT so will have lots of mechanical things to do. I’m going for a restomod on this.

[@DustyMacsGarage]

@@JLBAZANJR nice!!! What is that engine out of? I used to own a 90s Twin Turbo 300zx and it had a vgdett I believe

[@JLBAZANJR]

@@DustyMacsGarage it’s out of a Infiniti Q50. It’s a 3.0 twin turbo

[@DustyMacsGarage]

@@JLBAZANJR that thing should rip!!!

[@zedl28et]

Those gloves dude😂 I don’t think they are protecting much. Haha I like your video format the way it is. I think my videos are more like bad chads. I think yours are much better

[@DustyMacsGarage]

Cheers!!! My gloves are rough 😂 😂 thanks for the kind words mate!! I have gotten some new gloves since these clips though lol

All the people who are saying the square tube frame is too much, have no idea how planning for future horsepower works 😉

[@DustyMacsGarage]

😂 true... We never know what kinda power it may have in the future 😉

[@ratrodsafrica]

Why does your new steel not rust? My stuff goes rusty very quickly 😅 Guess your humidity is low... or climate controlled shop?🙂

[@DustyMacsGarage]

Lol my shop is fully insulated so I guess that helps but I do need to get some primer down cause I can tell in a few spots its slowly wanting to start.

Tony, can you set that z engine flat on the ground? I’m getting a Z with 2 engines (no trans)

[@mrsalesdude]

Dusty

[@DustyMacsGarage]

Im not 100% on that. My wifes engine is sitting with trans on 2 car dollie things from Harbor Freight. Im not sure if oil pan is flat completley or not.

[@ratrodsafrica]
