Fletch Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 From the pics posted yesterday when it was still on parts and pieces, It looks great. If you hadn't told us you had fitting issues I'd be surprised if any of us would have even known. Sweet Little 510, GREAT build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fordh8r Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Definitely a nice build, no doubt! My buddy who had the 260Z also had a 510 that was so fast the guys in the 5.0 mustangs hated that car. LOL His was all set up for autocrossing as he was also an autocross driving instructor. His looked very much like this only a lighter color blue and with white stripes. Once again, totally cool build. Thanks for sharing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87 Grand Posted January 31, 2009 Author Share Posted January 31, 2009 really cool little build! i like the tires you used on this one, where are they from? Dave Hey dave the tires I used came from the Aoshima Bunka Kyozai wheel and tires set. These are the tires from the Panasports that I used on the 240z. The wheels are from a Fujimi Kit. I had to kinda stretch the tires on the wheels, but I think that they worked. On most of all my builds I will go and try about 50 to 75 different wheel and tires combinations till I am satisfied with the look that I want. Thanks and hopefully that helped a little.

Nick F40 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 (edited) Yeah George, these were and are still hot, man do they sound good with Webers or a pair of Dell'Ortos. I like it, has my tastes. Talk about stretch with the tires. Edited January 31, 2009 by Nick F40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slant6 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 That looks great! I think my dad had one of those. What do you use for the prop rod and the antenna? Does the prop rod stow under the hood, or do you take it out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87 Grand Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 Hey thanks guys for all the great feedback. I really appreciate it. Hey slant the prop rod is just to hold the hood up. My wife gave me about 10 different colored spools of wire that she was not going to use so I got it. It works for just about anything because the scale is right on. The black and silver make great valve stems. I think she got them at Hobby Lobby in the craft section. I don't use them for antanea because they are really hard to get perfectly straight. I only use the smallest guitar strings for that. Thanks for looking and I hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
