ROAD TO TRACK

240Z Street car to 280Z Racer

Featured

My 1972 Street Datsun 240Z doing a slalom during summer of 1976

Same car but after many years of racing...it's now Fall 1995. These pictures show why I just had to "redo" the car.

It looked like it had burnt or something.....

At this stage....WHAT AM I DOING????, it's too ugly to work on.

OK, now it's clean and on the spit. Now is the time to reweld all panels

My racing right hand.... Jim Keller

So I like white paint.....(got that from the old Group 44 Jaguar team....)

It's got a steering wheel!

It is sitting on it's own 4 wheels....it must be a car!

an engine....

I made my own dash as this is an endurance race car with lots of gauges and switches....

the rest of the driveline

Jim Keller said it needed an alignment......

IT'S OUT OF THE SHOP!!!!!!!!!!

2 years later. I couldn't have done it without Jim Keller. He's a hell of a guy! THANKS JIM!!!

May 1998. Still the same car, just a little cleaner, straighter and more rigged. It's first race.....actually the Knox Mountain Hillclimb. She's as good as new!
