Thanks man. Ya it took a little bit to do with applying three coats of floss black, three coats of the high voltage yellow, and 6 coats of clear coat. Im happy with the end product though. :D

That backlit gauge in the cubbyhole pannel will look great!
Got an alignment today ....was way off...again also found out my drivers rear Controll arm is frozen (no adjustability) so I need to work on that when I get back from Idaho. Also putting in t-bolt clamps where all the worm drive ones were and doing a fluid flush (tranny/ oil change).
Also swapped out a few parts on Turners car as well. Lots of good parts about to hit the market!

alrighty, here they are!!
Finished the install today, took bout an hour...total time invested in project prolly 10-12hrs
and for some reason, I'm not sure why, because they are COMPLETELY on a seperate circuit, but its kinda a good thing, but if I have the green rings on and turn on the HID's the green rings turn off....so thats kinda a safety feature! (also a slight electrical grounding concern)...I can however turn them on after the headlights are on

Great job Josh on the headlights.. I may need to bug you for your expertise now that you have done it
Tim - car looks amazing. If we are able to come to Portland next month for the dalles (scion rodeo show), I hope you'll bring it out so I can see it in person

Thanks guys... It's getting show-worthy, although there is more I want to do for sure.
I didn't build it for show, I built it for me, based on what I dig style wise and it's just worked out that others dig the build as well. Z's are getting pretty popular now in mags and such, but it may not be "perfect" enough for that kind of attention, as I don't have the bank account to spec it up to that level.
The Canby Show is Sunday at the fairgrounds from 8-1 or so, and is pretty much the biggest gathering of Datsuns in Oregon for the whole year. There is also a blue lake show later in the year, but it's not near as big and doesn't have as many roadsters and Zs.
I've also got a new project - Elena... she's 1 month old now and makes it a boy and girl for us, with Aiden the super cool kid as a big bro.
