    That is a first class Z. knocked it out of the park. Paint, motor, wheels, brakes, interior... and a great exhaust sound.
  • @rackemwells
    I’d NEVER say a car is missing power windows! This is an exceptional build and the manual windows are perfect for it.
  • A cool son, putting a cage in for his dad. I love the build and the background too. 🙂
  • @AbandonedRaven
    I love seeing such high quality builds like this where so much detail and attention was put into it. Leather wrapped roll cage is so sick.
  • I remember a lot of Chevy V-8 "Scarab Z's" back in the 70's! This build is very nice & one of the best sounding exhaust on your channel man!
  • Many moons ago there was a V8 powered 240Z that showed up at autocrosses the Toronto area. That car was a beast and this reminds me of it. Love this machine
  • @gordocarbo
    THAT is how you do proper flares hell yes man! Attention to details...they flow real well. Never was into the generic rivet on stuff. Super cool ride...not too overpowered, clean tasteful and just plain fn fun. Diggum smacks! lol
  • @SuburbanDMV
    I love how this channel can show you the every day garage budget build to the most expensive shop build , yet treat each car like it's a work of art. One of the best pure auto channels on YT. Period. o7
  • These guys killed it! That thing is gorgeous! Dudes went to art school for sure.
  • The passion for engineering comes from all walks of life and this is a great representation! Especially when a son pays homage to his father. For where it all began.
  • @timmcooper294
    Beautiful, tasteful build that respects the original soul of the car. WE NEED more high end builds done this respectfully !!!!! The current "contemporary" style builds we see so much of nowadays are already dated. I think the way forward to the future is classy builds like this !! All I would change is chrome bumpers!
  • @StevieVman1
    This car and video is off the chart. The body work alone is beyond fantastic. His attempt to keep it deceiving and make everything look close to OEM. While he cleverly stuffed HUGE rims and tires. That's just scratching the surface. Totally glad I hit the watch button as I was about to go to sleep. Definitely will check out his other builds. Lastly the best part is the homage to his father. 👌🙏

    Buddy did a 327 swap in a 280 Z 2:02 42 years ago ...sick .... it did need some bigger rubber in the back so it would hook...and that was what made it all work!.
  • Damn that thing is so smooth. The steel flares worked into the bumpers and all, looks factory. What a great build.
  • @AnnatarTheMaia
    Props and respect to him for keeping it so tasteful. Respect where respect is due.
