Datsun 240Z

This was built in the early-mid 70's. That year in Southern California made some impressions on me. The new Datsun 240Z was one. I thought it was such a cool car. When I came back to Sweden, I had to build one. I took the (then) new Revell kit, and made some mods. A Chevy engine had to replace that sixbanger, so I raided the AMT '72 Nova kit, and used the big block engine and wheels. The headers are very thin, so shoehorning the engine into the Z wasn't any problem. Might be a different story now.... It was just a fun build. Well, here it is:

I did one with a V8 with blower from a flip nose 53 Ford truck and the straight axle from same kit. Painted mine yellow and still have it. I like yours. They are nice kits.
