Turned out great! Good to see a fellow Datsun KZbinr saving one of these cars

[@hcr-motorworks]

Saving as many as I can!

[@trevorsgaragemusings]

Thanks for the outside shots! Those interior shots it was reflecting the strand board on the shop ceilings and it looked like a dark chocolate. This thing is going to be killer once you cut and buff out that orange peal! Kudos on a job well done!

[@hcr-motorworks]

yea the camera is definitely bringing out more of the brown and bronze look more so than in person. In person and in natural light its more of a lighter metallic black with a bronze reflection in the sun. not near as much as the camera is making it out to be though. Thanks for watching!

[@RestorationApprentice]

Turned out absolutely beautiful! Really makes me wonna get a Z car for my next project!

[@hcr-motorworks]

Do it! They are definitely fun builds

[@arius2276]

Great color, looks good outside

[@hcr-motorworks]

Thanks buddy!

[@PistonsProps]

Damn look at that pearl! I’ve got another Z to drop off once I figure out how to wire.

[@hcr-motorworks]

Haha I'll teach you how to sand!

[@jdmjunk]

looks amazing...looks more brownish than black...love the outcome

[@hcr-motorworks]

Yep I thought the same thing at first. Outside and in the sun (these were shot in overcast conditions) the camera highlights the effect more than in person but it definitely has a bronze/brown tint to it though.

[@MindDezign]

Fantastic congratulations great color !

[@hcr-motorworks]

Thank you!

[@JordanPayneLV]

Paint looks really great! I'd like to understand the basics of electronics. Things like, when do you need resistors and these other additions aside from just running a ground and live wire? really just a rundown of how to restore wiring would be great. Or if you decide to use regular fuses rather than the original glass fuses?

[@hcr-motorworks]

Great suggestion!

[@markblades4536]

Fantastic👏👏👏 🎩 off to you sir

[@hcr-motorworks]

Thanks!

[@macman113]

Do mine next?? Really turned out nice!

[@hcr-motorworks]

Haha I think you're much better off tackling it yourself than having to win the lottery to pay me enough to want to go through that again

[@David-ty1xz]

If you plan to zinc plate anything, please share

[@hcr-motorworks]

Its almost like your in my head as to whats coming up in the future for this thing :)

[@David-ty1xz]

@@hcr-motorworks Great minds think alike. Your about 12,197 steps in front of me on my 73' 240, so in your position thats where I would be heading next.

[@hcr-motorworks]

@@David-ty1xz haha one step at a time, you'll be here before you know it

[@madkym]

Hi, here is my vote for zinc plate 👍
