Default Hello from WA

Hi ya'll, my name is Kolt. I have been having fun with cars since high school when I had a '95 240sx with bolt on mods. Since then I have had about 22 cars/motorcycles (in 10 years). I've spent the last 3-4 years building my Toyota Tacoma for Overlanding (the longest I've owned any vehicle).

My newest project is a 1969 Datsun 1600 Roadster. I started the project with 100% certainty that I would be putting a Hayabusa motor in it but, over time, I was swayed to a different route. I just picked up a wrecked 2002 Camaro SS convertable as a donor car. 89k on the LS1 (very smooth) and T56. I am finishing building my house and have a 1 yo daughter so this isn't going to be a quick build but I definitely look forward to getting it finished.

Some of my major tools:
Dynatorch 5'x10' mechanized table (Plasma & OxyAcetylene)
Thermal Dynamics A60
Lincoln 175 mig and 4'x8' welding table
SWAG 50" finger press brake
JDsquared pipe bender

I also started a thread in the conversation forum:
