Yeah that body style just looks so slick rolling down the road at any speed. The extra wheelbase would help it feel more stable at speed too. The engine bay is probably a little easier to fit a couple of decent sized turbos and some good sized 6 bolt heads too haha.
A Datsun 510 is boxy, light, but not remotely American muscle. A death box with high hp.
I want to build a 510 or a Volvo 240 for reasons unknown.

I had a friend that built a Datsun 510 BRE clone with a turbo 4 cylinder engine that looked like a hoot to drive. Longer wheelbase helps for high speed stability, but there is a limit to what is enjoyable to drive around town and what will fit comfortably in the garage.
You have a parts update for me yet ????
I will do that today for sure. Wife and kids just headed to her brother's last night so I have more free time to get out there and organize stuff I havent unpacked since we moved.
Nice car. I like the V's. Especially in black.
Thanks, I did too! My only complaint with the Raven Black is that paint maintenance quickly turned more time consuming than maintaining the engine haha. It sure did look great in the evening with a fresh detail though!
