The car’s going to be running next week, and will be off to the restoration shop, Miller Brothers Hot Rod Barn for final assembly. I WILL be enjoying this car next month!
So, here’s the status. The men at National Speed have done some amazing things here.
Finalizing the totally 100% custom exhaust…
There’s a ton of money in Black Horse AN fittings and such on this table… all of it totally & perfectly planned out. Nothing extra. Nothing short.
They made this catch can as part of a complete system that will keep evaporated oil from getting back into my intake. I’ll explain it more once I understand, which is not at this moment. ☺

The Greddy fuel rail was blue. You can see inside the holes. However, that would really clash with the rest of the engine bay, so it was media blasted. It will be polished more before final install.
The stock plastic coil cover would really bring down the looks of the engine bay too, so they made one of aluminum. I love it. It really works well with everything going on. With a loud color such as the lime, I wanted to keep a polished/brushed and black theme with the engine stuff.
Here are some detail shots. Please remember that everything’s not done yet. Not everything is as tight as it will be, or as polished as it will be.

The electrical goodies are all wrapped in snake skin and it’s all pretty darn clean so far.
And finally, the overall glory shots. Final welding hasn’t been done. They’re all tacked in there for fitment.
The guy who took this picture sent it to me with one word attached: “WIN”.
I about cried.

Dude, your 240 is shaping up to be a ridiculous build, definitely one of the best I've seen. It looks like the shop you're working with does top-notch work. There are some beautiful welds on those pieces. I really can't wait to see the final product.

I can just hear my wife - "You what?!? Sold your 911 for a Datsun?!?"
Merry Christmas!
