**The SEMA Datsun 260Z is coming together FAST! 🔥**
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's where the build stands right now:**
🚪 **The Doors:** Halfway through fabricating custom gullwing doors
🔥 **The Heart:** A massive Mercedes V8 engine sitting on the floor, prepped and ready to drop in
💪 **The Stance:** A wild Liberty Walk widebody kit offered up to mock up our lines
⚙️ **The Rear End:** 370Z rear cradle swapped in, paired with a 350Z rear differential
In this episode we tackle the suspension — fabricating the mounts from scratch and plumbing in the full air ride setup to get that perfect aggressive fitment under those widebody arches.
💬 Drop a comment below: **What do you think of the Mercedes V8 choice for this chassis?**
