Nice job,
OMG. That is the worst music, like... ever. And I thought William Hung was bad.
How long did it take to get the car stripped down to the way it was at the end of the video?
With filming, a couple days off and on. I also haven’t filmed in a while and was using a new camera so there was some issues to dial in. But this car was stripped down in the first season, that took WAY longer since I was trying to preserve parts thinking I was doing a full blown restoration lol
How do we contact you for anything parts related?
Woohoo! Glad your back! Can’t wait to see the progress. I need to inspiration to get back to work myself. The “piece of garbage” is a smog pump for the Z. I had one and chucked it as well😂
Well that makes a lot of sense. Garbage it is then 😂. For parts dm me on Instagram. Link should be in my bio here
Welcome back! Looking forward to season 2!
Keep up the progress ❤❤❤ here for the ride
0:10 I'm holding you to that, no backsies.
Happy to see you back man great work keeping this build alive 🫡
what solidify suitable for print this widebody ?
Are you talking about the filament for the printer? I used pla in this video because it’s easiest to print. But it’s hard to work with in post. Try pro pla or tough pla 👍
@@BradBuilds yeah PLA+ . it tough. but i have a problem with file. can you adjust it for me ? when i try to solidify it, and export to STL, it did'nt make it. look like fail. can you help me bro. email ? i send it to you.
Absolutely Sweet
you shouldn’t spec it for us. you’re the designer 😹 I think you should design it in increasingly crazy levels and then we pick the level of craziness rather than us picking which part
I will be designing all the parts, don’t worry! Voting will mostly be on picking different final iterations of designs.
yay!!!
You seem like you will have a blast. Use a tarp?
Yeah I’m planning to do the blasting outside. Hopefully won’t make too much of a mess
Looks exiting!!
Brad, I'm happy that you're back on the 240z. I found your channel when I picked up my 280z last fall when I was looking for inspiration/info. I almost copied your rollover jig but ended up fabricating a rotisserie. Check out my videos of you want a heads up on some of these rust repairs you have to do. I've done all of the areas you pointed out on your 240z so it could be helpful to you. Can't wait to see more!
Awesome! I’ll check it out and take some notes, thank you!
He’s back!!!!!!!!
I got a front clip in New Mexico. I won’t charge and arm and a leg for it
I just commissioned the tubular front, and it was just finished yesterday. Wild timing lmao, I really appreciate the offer though!
@@BradBuilds no problem! I bought a 280 with front end damage, came with a 240 parts car. was going to use the front clip but I found a roller for 1500 so I said fuck it and bought that instead! Now I got 2 parts cars and a 280 with a lot of rust repair 😂
I swear Datsuns are cursed. You buy one and all of a sudden you blink and theres 3 in your driveway 🤣
@@BradBuilds so true 😂😂😂 third Z is the charm they say
Excited for the build! Widebody Brad's back 🥶
🤝🫡
Someone get this man a socket organizer 😅
😭😭
The diffuser thought reminds me of starroad/ some BRE racecars. BUT BUT BUT DO NOT SAND BLAST THE CAR, SODA BLAST IT. Ive done that before and it warped the metal pretty bad since the sand get too hot, soda blasting is much cooler and has a lower chance of warping the thin metal on Zs
You might be able to get away with sand blasting since its on the engine bay which is pretty thick metal, and the interior is usually not TOO rusted, but just be weary of warping
I appreciate the warnings!! Soda is also way easier to clean up. I’ll make sure to do some test spots too 🙏
If he was doing large flat panels I would say don’t but he is doing areas with lots of bends and bracing. Plus areas that won’t see anything but carpet over them. He’ll be fine. The only thing I would caution is too little air compressor. Sand/media blasting takes a ton of air. I have a 5hp 80gallon 2 stage compressor and it does ok on small stuff. And it will take wayyyyyyyyy more sand than you think especially since you won’t be collecting and reusing it. Just my 2 cents. Not trying to nay say, only help as I too am happy to see your triumphant return!
Freakin missed you and your Z bro!
Feels good to be back!
I waited 1213 Days 🎉 Finally 💪🏻
Master of patience. I would have unsubscribed by now 😂
Good stuff, Nice shop! What motor are you thinking?
I have literally priced out 4 swaps and still not 100% certain on one 😫😂. LS is the cheapest starting price and cheapest to modify down the road too, but we’ll see. I’d really love to have a straight 6 or a k20 with a big ass turbo tho 😫
@@BradBuilds Yeah, it is hard to beat an LS for cost power and reliability....a big turbo k20 would be really cool too. I am swapping in a vq35hr into my S30..It has been pretty cheap so far.
Let's goooooooooo
Finally a new video 😂❤
So happy you're back dude, keep this build alive
Glad you’re back !
Just put OEM fender flares on it. Don't ruin it.
Tell me you're new to the channel without telling me you're new to the channel.
@@violentvinyl 240z is automotive art. There will never be anything like it again. Home made extra wide fenders are like drawing moustache on mona lisa.
I look at it like this, my Datsun is a blank canvas and whatever I end up doing to it is my art. It’s not going to be for everyone and I accept that.
Yesssss Braddddddd
He's back!
Glad to see you back on here! I was just rewatching your Ram and Subaru rebuild videos like 2 weeks ago.
Fing finally!!!!!
i cant watch the vid right now i hope youre saying youre coming back tho
Welcome back!
Finally 😢🎉
yes yes yes
Neat.
Glad to see you back at it! As a fellow Safari Gold Z owner (although I can't remember if you're sticking with the same color or not), my father and I enjoyed watching your restoration videos. We did a father/son restomod of our Z when I was in HS, so your videos were like a trip down memory lane. Looking forward to seeing what you do next with it!
Hitting me with the feels!! I am 100% keeping the color, I’m a little biased on it being the best color Datsun made ahah
I just landed here from the algorithm, seems like my type of content, subscribed
Daaaamn so good to hear you coming back! Really love your style and narration!
YES
I was skeptical of your work but it came out very nice!!!
i've been following your artworks for years now, but i never knew you had a youtube channel... ...that i had already subscribed to lmao but i'm stoked to watch everything on here
thanks for sticking around! i forgot i had a youtube channel as well haha
You have no idea how long we've all waited for this
Im so glad you're back!! <3
Glad you’re back man, and congrats on the crazy growth and career change.
Do you like Mondays?😊
Lets gooo!!
