MPC Datsun California Sunshine

This was built mostly straight from the box. I did modify the suspension to lower it ,and used smaller front tires. The rears are from a mid 80's Corvette. I made my own decals,since I didn't like the kit ones,and they fell apart,too.The body is Tamiya white.

nice custom work! I remember this kit from way back...it was quite a challenge for me to build if I recall.  How was it for you?

Thanks Bill. For me,it's mostly the suspension. They sit way too high,and the tires are too wide for the body. I shaved the back of the wheels and the backing plate to get the smaller tires on it.Not a great kit,but it is 40 years old. I've owned a few Datsun trucks,so I know how 'off' this kit is.
