datsun widebody project

[AZGhost]

Im Its been going on 3 years on this project. Finally starting to see the end of the road. Just some minor body/fiberglass work and paint. I hope, if everything goes well, that Ill have everything worked out in time for JCCS in CA in September.

Have not socialized this car yet outside of it being online in Instagram and reddit. Havent been to any club meets or CC.

Genuine 3 Piece, HRE-505's from late 80's early 90's from what Im told. I have all the center caps, which are in amazing shape.

Front tires are 17x10.5 275/40/17 Front with a 5.5" lip
Rear tires are 17x13 345/40/17 Rear with a 9" lip -63 offset

The rear fenders were all made by myself and a friend over the course of about a month, nothing was big enough on the market. The front fenders and nose, are part of an IMSA race kit.

Love it or **** it, Im absolutely stoked on how it turned out. Exactly the look I was going for.





Enjoy!

So here are some build pictures of the rear fenders. There wasnt anything wide enough out there to make this work, and damnit I wanted it to work!

Cut the fender out to accommodate the 335's in the rear.



Making the rear fenders:














Fenders on Fenders for working out the shape.




Drivers side done:



Passenger side using expandable foam. After the drivers side we realized we didnt need to get so elaborate. Just some plastic to hold in place while we foamed everything around it. Plus it was like 1am.









sent off to a fiberglass shop to make a mold and get the symmetry down right on both sides.



fiberglass shop update:





done:





I had them work in the filler area for the gas tank. Its got to run, just aint going to sit around lookin pretty.









Fitting the front gnose IMSA kit was a pain in the ass... Lining up the headlight holes on both pieces, fender/nose was a lot more difficult than I thought it was going to be. Lots of test fiting to get it down right.









Some fitment issues with the nose I need to correct.



Dont know if you can see the divots in the nose, it was like someone put vents in or something. This will fill in easy.



This didnt line up at all. The guy I bought it from is goign to fix it, and make it right. Just have to pull it off and give it to him. Im the first one to buy this IMSA nose/fenders from him
