The SEMA Datsun Build Is Getting Crazy! (Air Ride Installation)
Description: Go to http://buyraycon.com/YORKSHIRECARBC to get 15% off. Thanks to Raycon for sponsoring this Video
We are building a SEMA-worthy monster, and this Datsun is getting the absolute works. If you think a classic Datsun should stay stock, look away now because we are cutting, fabricating, and completely transforming this machine from the ground up.
Here is where the build stands right now:
The Doors: Halfway through fabricating custom gullwing doors.
The Heart: A massive Mercedes V8 engine is sitting on the floor, prepped and ready to be dropped into the bay.
The Stance: A wild Liberty Walk widebody kit is currently offered up to the body to mock up our lines.
The Rear End: Upgraded with a 370z rear cradle swapped in, paired up with a rugged 350z rear differential.
In this episode, we tackle the stance. We are laying this thing completely on the ground. Watch the step-by-step fabrication and plumbing as we install the full air ride suspension setup to get that perfect, aggressive fitment under the widebody arches.
Drop a comment below: What do you think of the Mercedes V8 choice for this chassis?
